A.K. Boyd, Havre de Grace, Maryland
 

While going through some old things during a visit to my
father recently, I came across many photos belonging to friends
of the family. Unfortunately many were not labeled, but I would
be happy to send those that were to anyone who feels s/he is
related to these people, all of whom I believe were from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or the surrounding area.
  snip---snip......

    There was also a photograph album that my grandfather made
of shipmates when he was in the Navy between 1902 and 1906. Many
were unlabeled, but the following did have names and cities:
O. RIGBY, Elmira, New York; C. J. PALMER, Seneca Falls, New
York; W. P. CLEARY, New Haven, Connecticut; Harry MEADE,
blacksmith, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; W. GRUBB, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania; J. SKALSKI, Buffalo, New York; E. McGREAVY,
Toledo, Ohio; George HEAMILINCK, 228, Derrom Ave., Patterson,
New Jersey; A. K. BOYD, Havre de Grace, Maryland; S. R. NIXON,
St. Paul, Minnesota; C. URBAN, Detroit, Michigan; F. McNUTT,
Dayton, Ohio; Charles MURPHY, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; F.
FRIDAY, Greenville, South Carolina; E. E. HOWET [I think, the
handwriting isn't clear on this one and there is no home town]
taken April 15, 1905 in Manila, Philippine Islands; and one
that I can [not?] read the first initial, but the second
initial is F. BROWN, 18 W. 6th St., Portsmouth, [the state could
be Ohio but again the handwriting isn't clear]. If you recognize
any of these names, please contact me. I would love to return
the photos to the descendants of these men.

Richard,
 I'm sending an attachment of the picture of A.K. Boyd.  He is in a picture
with another man.  I am not positive which man is A.K. Boyd and which is
S. R. Nixon of St. Paul, Minn.  But A.K. Boyd's name is listed first on the
back of the photo so I am thinking he is the one on the left side as you
look at the photo.  Photo taken in Hong Kong.
