William McKendree Maddox

This photograph was taken by L.K. Oldroyd, Photographer in Falls City, Nebraska. The date the picture was taken is unknown.

This photograph is from an album that was originally owned by Sarah Ann (Sadie) Maddox Shields. The above pictured would be her uncle. The album was then passed to her daughter, Olive Shields McCaffery. After the death of Olive the album was in the possession of William Roll and Treva Maretta Bedwell Maddox. Before the death of Treva Maddox the album was given to Bryon Thomas Maddox. It remains in his possession. This album contains more pictures that were taken in Falls City, Nebraska. I believe them to Maddoxs but am unable to identify them. To see these pictures, please email the webmaster at: roogie98_98@yahoo.com
