It has to be Limbert.

I didn't allow myself to stare at it for too long, because I've learned that when I do that, I keep seeing things differently!<br /><br />RenateRenate Yarborough Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289031155721526652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327810228462686.post-61898993617259634972012-11-21T09:36:43.224-08:002012-11-21T09:36:43.224-08:00Hmmm....Limbert.

The second word in the first line appears to start with the same letter as the two surnames shown, a detail which had really been bothering me. It almost looks like an abbreviation. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that begins with "L" is "Lt." I did find a John Limbert from PA in the United States, Civil War and Later Pension Files, 1861-1917 on Familysearch, who was a 2nd Lt. in the Civil War. ( https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NH6K-ZZF ) The 1890 Veterans Schedule (Pottsville, PA) on Ancestry shows his rank as 1st Lt. The marriage date in the 1900 census is listed as around 1866, which could possibly match our photo, if B.B. was a newlywed when our 1865 cdv was taken. Of course all this is circumstantial and much more research would have to be done, but you've provided an avenue to pursue.

There is a Rebecca (24) in the 1870 census m. John (31)Limbert who is a shoe maker in PA. In the 1880 census she is referred to a Rebecca B. Limbert … and in the 1900 census she is Rebecka Limberd.
