   This family photo is trimmed on edges, usually to fit into tight paper photo albums, as most were. Does not affect her actual image in any way. It is a wonderful old Pixler & Brownmiller family piece, by famous photographer Late Huffman. Maggie's married name Brownmiller is also seen as Braunmiller and Brounmiller in related census records. The photo was found in Sand Lake, Kent and Iosco County, Michigan. A beautiful hand signed antique photo.

     Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook.
