Lost Family Photo of Susan Villetta Keller

I found this photo at the AVONDALE ANTIQUE MART in Jacksonville a couple of weeks ago. (I also saw a gorgeous old wood filing cabinet that I would love to have.)








I was able to find enough census information to know who her family is.

It looks like Susan had a step-mother by 1870.  Since she was about 12 years old in 1870 I estimate that the photo was taken around 1875.




Hopefully we can get this photo into the hands of a Keller descendant.
