I am doing my family genealogy and all your info is correct. Would love a copy of this picture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785786574111399769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327810228462686.post-86574160339855550042014-05-15T17:00:02.769-07:002014-05-15T17:00:02.769-07:00http://books.google.com/books?id=HM4xAQAAMAAJ (sea...http://books.google.com/books?id=HM4xAQAAMAAJ (search for Ruhl or go to page 1017) It doesn't tell us much more than you know - but its a good narrative.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715327810228462686.post-15563614940677287092014-05-14T12:39:36.993-07:002014-05-14T12:39:36.993-07:00It's hard to say.

Even though the Alice I researched may have been a member of the Lutheran Church, as were some of her siblings, her parents belonged to the United Brethren Church, which I understand is a Mennonite Church. Someone told me that her outfit isn't in line with what one would expect of a Mennonite girl, and that it is unlikely a Mennonite father would spend money on an image such as this. So, I don't know. Alice's sister was married at the time this photo would have been taken, and her husband was not Mennonite...perhaps the young, motherless girl was staying with them, or another family for a short while. I don't know. It seems to fit so well, but this is truly an example of "the only thing that's for sure, is that nothing's for sure."

I wonder how many grand and great-grandchildren she has/had - must have been a boatload.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
