Walter B. and Wilson Stehl
|
|
|
These photos have the distinction of probably traveling
further than any others on this site. Mike Brill,
the submitter
of these images found them on e-Bay. He purchased
them
from Matt Hovious, a collector and genealogist
in Barcelona, Spain!
Walter B. Stehl was 19 when the Russell Studio created
this
cabinet card image of him in Baltimore. Wilson
Stehl was age 13,
probably a younger brother.
A search of the 1880 U.S. Census in Maryland yielded
a match for
Walter B. Stell, 5-year old son of Justus V. and
Eliza A. Stell. The senior
Stell was a druggist from Prussia. His wife was
British. Wilson Stehl
is not enumerated in this household, but he would
not have been
born until 1881. The family business was at 240
North Gay
Street from 1862 until atleast the mid-1880s. See
Nancy Bramucci's
Medical
Care in the City of Baltimore
To view other photos found with the Stehl collection,
visit Mrs.
J. L. Moon and unidentified CDV.
Mike is making both of these images available to
anyone who can prove
a relationship to them ... and hopefully maybe
provide what no
doubt will be an interesting explanation of their
travels.
