Thelma Cathcart - Missouri

These are the last two finds from the Flea Shack in Middleburg, Florida. Two photos of a beautiful girl named Thelma Cathcart.
The first photo has a faint stamp that says Morgan Springfield, MO. The second photo was taken in Stockton, California. I believe that it is a proof. That is why it is so hard to see.

Using detective reasoning I believe I have found a few facts about her. Thelma was born 23 Apr 1908 in Missouri to William and Maude Cathcart. The family was in California by 1927. She was married to Raymond Larimer.

  1. Leslie,

    Thanks very much for your excellent detective work!

    Although this family is not (as far as I can tell) directly related to my own line, I agree with your guess where Thelma belongs.

    I'd love to get in touch with any family members of this line to help fill in genealogical blanks.

    Here's a link to Thelma's father's page on my online database:

  2. Hello John. My name is Sidney Ira-Von Kathcart. My father was Vondal Edward Kathcart, Grandfather was Ira Manuel Kathcart and Grandmother was Verna Hedrick. my Grandfather and Grandmother is as far back as I can go. My father died in 1991 and I was very young and the fact that he was an only child doesn't help. I am mostly interested finding out who Ira Kathcart's father was and when exactly did the Kathcart's come from Scottland? If you or any-one else that reads this could help me I would Greatly appreciatte it. You may contact me at bogus311@gmail.com Thank You!

  3. Sidney,

    Sorry, i don't have information on your line.

    Are you sure of the Scotland connection, or might it be N. Ireland (esp County Antrim)?
