These two little girls are identified as Meta and Cora Schrader. I
have no idea how the Schrader family connects to my ancestry other
than that they are somehow tied to my Schumacher connections in
Illinois. The original photograph was taken probably sometime in the
1870's or 1880's . The photographer is identified as W.D. Fay of
Joliet, IL. I have another
photograph which appears to be of the same two girls about five
years older. The photographer identification in that one is C.
Murr's photographic studio, Joliet, IL. |

This person is completely unidentified. The original photograph is
a tintype. Based on the background in the original, I think it was
shot in the 1870's or 1880's. I'm pretty sure he's an ancestor of
mine based on a strong resemblance to me. |

These three children are completely unidentified. I was told the
original was a tintype. My copy was made from a copy of it. I think
the original was made in the 1860's. Their cheeks appear to have
been painted. |

This is another Schrader photograph. The boy on the right is Will
Schrader, based on other photographs in which he is identified. The
boy on the left shares a strong resemblance to one of the Schrader
girls in the first image. I have no idea who the man in the middle
is. The photographer for this is also W. D. Fay, Joliet, IL. I think
it was shot in the 1870's. I have a few tin type photographs of Will
Schrader with two women (Alvina Schrader and Margaret
Schumacher - Margaret is the only sister of my great
grandfather, Edward
C. Schumacher). One clue is that according to the Illinois
Statewide Marriage Index, Alvina Schrader married Charles Murr
(probably the photographer of several of these photographs) in Will
County on 2 Dec 1873. |

This is Elizabeth
"Libby" Christina Campbell, sister of Susan
R. Terpening. Her maiden name is Cory. Susan is my great-great
grandmother. The photo was taken by Geo. W. Wise, #29 West
Milwaukee, Janesville, Wisconsin, probably in the 1880's. In her
father's probate record's Elizabeth started out as Mrs. Fish. I've
learned that her first husband was Dr. Steven
Newell Fish of DeKalb county, Illinois. They had a son, Eddie,
who died about three years after his father. Her second husband was Will
Campbell (They married around 1882 or 1883). She and Will were
living in Redland, California in 1906 at the death of her sister,
Susan. I'm still looking for date information on Libby and her
family. |
