  • Old photographs
  • Posted: 2010-04-17 13:51:01 PDT By allen d. whitehead
  • Hello,

    My grandfather, John Benson Whitehead was a photographer. He got his first camera from selling bluing from a magazine when he was 16 and living on the family homestead (Joseph B. and Sarah E. Whitehead) on the Dungeness river. His sister, Ina Whitehead, was a school teacher who taught at Chimacum, "Seguen", and Beaver. Between the two, I have inherited many pictures which I would like to share with you. I have a fairly good scanner and can convey them electronically if you will instruct me where to send them.
    Sincerely,
    Allen Whitehead

  • Did you receive the photos I sent you? I sent a quite large attachment of them to you about 5 days ago.

  • Hi Allen:
    Yes, we received the photos and your information. Thank you so much!
    We had a major project here that went into the mail yesterday--hopefully, I will be able to get back to answering queries more promptly.

  • Dear Allen,
    Do you know Sherma Whitehead? She is the step sister of Bessi, Elsworth and Lewis Whitehead(I think those names are correct.) Anyway she is my Aunt and is 86 years old. My grandmother(Norma Nelson) married Wyman Edwin Whitehead and was his 2nd wife We have been doing some Ancestry searching and would love to see any photos you might have that concern that branch of the family. You might not be a relative at all but Whitehead is not a common name so I thought I'd ask. Best Wishes,
