Henry Yarrington-Carbondale,Pa. Photographer
I have found a photo of Clara Yarrington, from Pa. in my gr. grandmothers things.She was from Luzerne, Pa.Clara was probably a friend of great grandmas. The Yarrington's dont appear to be related to my family. On the back of the photo is the photographers stamp:
H. C. Yarrington
312 Main St.
Carbondale, Pa
I looked this name up in the Carbondale 1880 census and found Henry C. Yarrington, age 43, photographer, living with his wife, Lucy L. and son Herbert, 14, and daughter Clara, 4. Clara obviously had her photo taken by her father! Then she gave in to my gr. grandma!
Clara wrote her name on the back of the photo and the date Feb. 18, 1876, which is her birthdate.She appears to be about 20 in the photo, which was probably taken in approx. 1896 or so.
I bet there are descendants of Clara's who would die for this photo, which I will gladly send, as it is of no interest to me.
