  Minnie R. Stow, Minerva McCauley Stow, and Viola Stow Dufour, 1907
  

  This photograph is mounted in a folio and depicts three members of the Stow family, Minnie R. Stow (1868-1938), Minerva McCauley Stow (1843-1921), and Viola Stow Dufour (1841-1912). Viola is seated at right. Minerva, the wife of J. Howard Stow, is in the center, and her daughter Minnie is on the left. If their apparel signifies morning, then perhaps this photograph post-dates Frank Dufour's death in April 1907. (J. Howard Stow had died in 1898.)

  Home of Uzziel and Catharine Stow, 1875
  

  This is a reversed image ca. 1875 of the home of Uzziel and Catharine Stow. Belle Dufour Stepleton (1883-1979) added the penciled caption probably in the 1940s or 1950s. Her son Donald Stpleton (1909-2003) copied Belle's inscription in ink about 50 years later, adding a few more details. Verso reads: "U. H. Stow home at Stowtown (Stow Triangle Area) (home farm). Left to right, girl named Dickason (hired girl), Amanda English, old lady who lived there until her death, [and] who had lived before coming to the Stows with Henry Clay's family in Kentucky. Always wore her bonnet even at dinner, in doorway Catherine Stow (my grandmother), and grandfather (seated) with Cane, Uzziel Stow, neighbor boy, hired man (B.D. Stephen)." The Stow letters occasionally include a greeting to "Manda" or "Mandy," this being Amanda English (1804-1890) who lived permanently with the Stows from at least 1860 on. We know very little about her, other than the fact that she was a seamstress. Willetta Washmuth's memoir includes an amusing anecdote regarding Uzziel and Amanda (Memories, Cotton's Hollow Press, Vevay, Indiana, 1991; pp. 33-34). However, be aware that Mrs. Washmuth (b.1905) had not know the other Stows personally, and in some instances she conflates Jonah and Uzziel Stow, and makes other factual errors. But her tales reflecting the character of Uzziel Stow certainly have a ring of truth. A photo published in Washmuth's memoir (p. 27) shows the house in its 1870 configuration, but from another vantage point.

  Stow Family Gathering
  

  This mounted photograph depicts various members of the Stow family at a family gathering on October 16, 1896. On the photograph, someone has identified some of the members of the family, but the donor of the collection has determined that several of the identifications are incorrect. They have provided a key in identifying all of the people present in the image, moving from left to right, up and down.
  A. Lemuel B. Stow (1866-1934)
  B. Ella Madison Stow (1874-1913) holding Baron H. Stow (July 1896-1962)
  C. Wilbur Stow (December 1894-1979)
  D. Viola Stow Dufour (1841-1912)
  E. J. Howard Stow (1833-October 1898)
  F. Shelomith Stow (1819-1901)
  G. Walter Hutchings (1866-1937)
  H. Minerva Mccauley Stow (1843-1921)

  O. Horace ""Harry"" M. Stow (1861-1946)
  P. Mary Sanders Stow (1866-1963)
  Q. unidentified (possibly a child or dependent of Harry and Mary Stow
  Also included with this photograph is a detailed explanation of all of the relationships within the family.
  1. All the Stows here, excluding spouses, are descended from Jonah and Livia Stow. Horace and Shelomith were their sons, as were Hiram (d. 1830), Solomon (d. 1846), and Uzziel (d. 1890). Most of the people in this photo, excluding spouses, are decedents of Horace Stow through his son J. Howard Stow.
  2. Livia Jan Stow Branham was a daughter of Horace. J. Howard Stow was a son of Horace. Minerva McCauley Stow was J. Howard's wife.
  3. Lemuel B. Stow was one of J. Howard Stow's sons. Wilbur and Baron are sons of Lemuel (thus grandsons of J. Howard Stow, and great grandsons of Horace). Lemuel's daughter Olive was born in 1906, and thus cannot be in the infant in Ella Stow's arms.
  4. Minnie R. Stow was a daughter of H. Howard Stow and thus a sister to Lemuel. She was Horace's granddaughter. She never married.
  5. Horace ""Harry"" M. Stow was another son of J. Howard Stow, and a brother to Minnie and Lemuel. Harry married Mary Sanders in 1893. The 1900 census recorded that Mary had not given birth to any child as of then.
  6. Loring S. Stow, who died before this photo was taken, was yet another son of J. Howard Stow. He married Nannie Madison in 1888. but died in January 1890. Their only child, Harry D. Stow, was born in 1889. Nannie then married W. Dean Tyler, and Harry D. Stow was raised in his household.
  7. Viola Stow Dufour was a daughter of Uzziel Stow. Her husband Frank Dufour was alive at the time this photograph was taken, but he did not make it into the picture, not did any of their offspring.
  8. Walter Hutchings was neither a relative, nor a suitor. Perhaps he was in the employ of one of the elder Stows."
