Circa 1890s photo of Erasmus Haworth (1855-1932)
I recently purchased a family album containing the subject undated studio portrait of a middle-aged gentleman taken by Walthall, Oskaloosa, IA.
An accompanying handwritten key identifies this individual as:
"4. Erasmus Haworth
2nd son of Ellwood & Matilda"
I found Erasmus listed in public member trees posted on ancestry.com.He also appears in a family history published on haworthassociation.org, which contains an article, "My Grandfather, Erasmus Haworth," by Darthea S. diZerega.I found him listed in the U.S. Census data for 1870, Lowell Township, Cherokee Co., KS; the Kansas State Census data for 1895, Lawrence, Douglas Co., KS; the U.S. Census data for 1900, Wakarusa Township, Douglas Co., KS; the Kansas State Census data for 1905, Lawrence, Douglas Co., KS; the U.S. Census data for 1910, Lawrence, Douglas Co., KS; and the Kansas State Census data for 1915, Lawrence, Douglas Co., KS.
