Celia Sconce Cathcart Holton kept a wonderful scrapbook for 1913-1916. She wrote witty captions under many of the pictures on the 62 pages. Her writing is difficult to read and the ink has faded after 100+ years. I was advised to rewrite the captions in darker ink. One labeled picture helps me identify the same person in unlabeled photographs. I wish Celia had put names on more pictures. Wouldn't it be fun to find the grandchildren of Josephine Cathcart Williamson and share the picture of their ancestor as a young girl? James Silas Sconce didn't have any children. The woman from Rushville - I see her in other pictures but don't know her name for sure. Maybe Celia's visit is listed on the "society" page of the Rushville newspaper. Who's the boy with the short hair?
