User Home Pages: The Squier-Atwell-Van Gilder Family ReUnion HomePage

We have decided to trace our family tree for our Annual Family Reunion which celebrated it's 63rd year in 1998. We started with the marriage of Warren Squier and Sarah Jane Drum. The main Surnames in this tree are Squier, Atwell, Churchill, and Van Gilder. The Family is mainly clustered around Imlay City, Lake Orion, Detroit, and Lapeer, Michigan.
As you can see from our photos, our family reunion is much older than we originally thought. Evidently they only began keeping records in 1935, but the reunion is much older.
I have decided to include some unidentified photos on my Web Page. Perhaps you can help me identify these people. UNKNOWN FAMILY 00001 came to me from Luella Drum Salaz, my aunt thinks it might be Warren and Sarah Jane (Drum) Squier and some of their children. The rest came from an old leather photo albumn found in Phyllis (Squier) Cole's hope chest after her death. Since the identified pictures in this albumn are almost exclusively from the Squier and Drum families, I think this albumn may have belonged to Sarah Jane (Drum) Squier (Phyllis' grandmother). Most of the photos say "A. Hayes PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTIST, Imlay City, Michigan" on the back. Some have nothing on the back and one says "'Secure the Shadow ere the Substance Fades' J.B. GILLETTE, PHOTOGRAPHER, VASSAR, MICH.MY AIM IS TO PLEASE. Another says "J.B. Gillet's New Photograph Rooms, Imlay City, Mich." Please thank you for any assistance in identifying these lost souls.
