I recently came across a large box of family photos.. late 1800's/early 1900's. Many of them are not labeled with names, though some are. I'm going to attempt loading all of these on to here, in hopes that readers out there might be able to help me with identifying some of them, or at least point me in the right direction to doing so. They are all more than likely from the William C Claypool (1832-1906) family. He was born & raised in North Buffalo Township, Armstrong County, PA.. along Cadogan Slate Lick Road. He & his wife, Mary A Boyd (1833-1906), also of the same area, gave birth to 8 children who populated much of the area. They were Clarissa (Claypool) Bowser (1852-?), Malinda "Lynn" (Claypool) Grafton (1855-1936), Allison "Adge" Claypool (1857-1939), Judson Wayne Claypool (1860-1930), Myra Rosamond (Claypool) Livengood (1865-1942), Aaron Neff Claypool (1867-1960), Anna Adaline (Claypool) Ruffaner (1869-1937), and Lida Alberta (Claypool) Gillam (1873-bef 1906). None of the children left Armstrong County, most of them stayed in North Buffalo Township. As far as I know, they all attended Union Baptist Church, and I'm quite certain on a regular basis! I'll start with some of the pictures I have that WERE labeled.
