Photographs of Great Great Grandparents

While sorting through family photos and identifying my great grandmother, Ethel Laurel Winterton (1891-1962) and her brother, William Gladstone Winterton, I noticed an older woman in a lot of the photos, sometimes with an older man. They are probably Laurel and William's parents, Katherine Dunn and William Walling Winterton.

Katherine Dunn (wife of William W), and Sophia Winterton (wife of Joseph Walling).
Sophia and William Walling Winterton were siblings. She is clearly identified in other labeled photographs.
 She relocated to California by 1920 and sent pictures home to Monmouth County, New Jersey.

This couple playing in the snow could also be William and Katherine.

The supposed Katherine identified herself on the back of one photograph, but not by name.

Sallie Cuttrell
and myself

Sallie Cuttrell was born Sallie Cailhopper (1869-1936). She was a first cousin of William Walling Winterton- the husband of Katherine Dunn. Sallie's mother, Serena Winterton (1843-1914), was a sister of William's father, John R Winterton (1831-1890).

Older cabinet cards were in this collection. Two cabinet cards were from the studio of Grotecloss at 44 West 14th Street in New York City. The woman could be Katherine Dunn. She has the same pale eye color and facial expression.

A young man was also photographed by Grotecloss. Could this be William Walling Winterton?

From another photo album is a cabinet card of perhaps the same woman. The photographer was L H Doremus of 240 Main Street in Paterson. This business existed from 1888-1901. Katherine would have been in her late twenties. Her first child was born in 1891.

What do you all think of the pictures from the 1800s? Same people- Katherine Dunn and William Walling Winterton?

Passport Photo

In the package of photographs from a relative was this small picture. The face was familiar to me- William Gladstone Winterton (1898-1976), the brother of my great grandmother, Laurel.

As a bonus, this was one of the few photographs with written identification on the back.

W. G. Winterton
Born April 24, 1898
Photo taken September 27, 1920
Passport number 95284

If this photo was submitted for a passport, the digital version could be online. The application was found in Ancestry.com's database, U.S. Passport Applications 1795-1925. On September 27, 1920 (the same date on the picture), William applied for a passport to travel to Calcutta (Kolkata), India to install electric machinery for a business owned by Frederick A Deller. Mr Deller's letter is included in the application.

The pictures on the left page belong to unrelated applicants.

William's maternal uncle, John Dunlop Dunn (1870-1939), signed an affidavit about William's birth date and place (April 24, 1898 in Matawan, Monmouth County, New Jersey). John was living at 64 Chadwick Avenue in Newark at the time of his signature. (Laurel was residing at 192 Chadwick Avenue at this time.)

Pictures of a Great Grandmother

I continue sorting the pictures sent to me by a family member (thank you D.N.).

Most pictures are not labeled, which is most unfortunate.

I was able to identify some pictures of my great grandmother, Ethel "Laurel" Winterton (1891-1962). She was born in Matawan, Monmouth County, New Jersey. She relocated to Newark in Essex County by 1910, when she married Howard Lutter.

When she was around three or four, professional photos were taken by Ferdinand Maag in Keyport. I colorized them at MyHeritage.

Looks like Laurel was in a group school picture. This could be Holmdel, as the family was enumerated there in the 1900 census. If anyone recognizes this picture, any of these people, or the building behind them, please comment below.

This photograph by Walter Joseph Bourie in Newark might be Laurel's graduation from high school. She is holding a rolled up paper. Maybe she graduated around age seventeen, so the year was circa 1908.

This picture could be Laurel with her mother, Catherine Butterfoss Dunn (1865-1944), at a festivity.

This picture is Laurel with her daughter, Beryl Lutter (1918-1988). The woman in the middle is probably Laurel's mother, Catherine Dunn (also pictured above). The man would then be Laurel's father, William Walling Winterton (1863-1932).

Catherine and William were living on Telegraph Hill Road in Holmdel in the 1930 census. No house number. If anyone recognizes this house, please comment below.

I use Gary Saretzky's website to figure out photographer's names, locations, and dates that they were in operation.
