Baby photo found years later

 

Susan Graham found this baby picture and is looking for the owner.

COLFAX–Susan Graham had her communion photos taken on May 1, 1971, by Bill Walters at his photography studio on Mill Street, which operated from 1968 to 1972.

Over the years, the communion picture has moved with Graham across the state. It wasn't until recently that she noticed the photo had a paper backing to it.

"It's a large picture, 16X21 inches," Graham said. "There was my picture, then behind that was a picture of a gentleman and his wife and then the picture of this beautiful baby."

Graham said she was able to find the family for the picture of the couple. She said it was a family that lived in Colfax and now the gentleman lives in Spokane. The picture was taken right before he was to go to Vietnam.

Graham said she believes that when someone had their picture taken by Walters and if it never got picked up, it was used as backing for another photo in a frame.

"These pictures have been floating around for 49 years now," Graham said. "I want them to get back to the person or at least their family."

Graham said she will be sending the picture of the couple to the gentleman in Spokane this week and hopes that she will be able to send this baby picture as well.
