Subject: [COOK-CO-IL] EBERLE - STELLS Family Photograph
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:04:02 -0700


I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Ida EBERLE which was taken at
the Van Sickle Studio in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Ida likely in her teens or 20's at the time.
In addition to her name, someone has also written "Cousin" and "Mrs. Robert
STELLS" and "died in Detroit, buried in Canada, Trinity Church Yard, 2 miles
out of Morpeth (hard to read), Ontario".

The writing is difficult to read as someone has written over the top of a
portion of it as if in an attempt to correct spelling. I am guessing that
she was married to Robert STELLS, though the last name is difficult to make
out. I am hoping to locate someone from Ida's family so that this wonderful
old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
