The Dulaney Family of Louisville - My Current Obsession

The other day while doing some online research, I came across an exhibition catalog from 1929 for an exhibit at the J.B. Speed Museum in Louisville, Kentucky: "Exhibition of Daguerreotypes and Pictorial Photography" that ran from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15, 1929.    On page 11 of the catalog, I found this:

    

Wow!  I would sure love to track down these pictures! 

So, Mrs. Albert S. Willis was Florence Braden Dulaney who married Albert Shelby Willis.  Florence's parents were Woodford Hector Dulaney and Margaret Josephine Cawthon.  Woodford's parents were Zachariah Dulaney and Mary Eleanor Braden.   Could there really be a picture of my husband's 4th great-grandfather, Robert Braden? 

I've been sending out queries to various Kentucky archives, libraries, and historical societies, but so far, no luck.  Florence died in 1944 and her only son, Albert, died in 1947.  It appears that Albert married about 1915 in Florence, Italy to Dorothy M. Heath and they had a son, Albert S. Willis III. 

If anyone knows of the existence of these pictures or any Dulaney descendants, I'd love to get in touch.
