I have an old studio photograph of Riebke RIEBKAS which was taken at the A. D. Frantz Studio in Ackley, IA in the 1890's. Riebke is likely less than one year old at the time the photograph was taken. A note on the back of the photograph says, "died in 1918 at Camp Dodge with flu". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Riebke and his family: Riebke M. RIEBKES was b. 6 Sept 1896 in German Township, Grundy Co., IA to parents Martin M. RIEBKES (1873-1951) and Antje or Anna KANNEGIETER or KANNIGSITER (1876-1950). Riebke was one of 8 children born to this couple including Riebke M.; Metje or Mettje or Mattie or Matta; John M.; Louis “Louie” M.; Albertiro or Alburtus “Bert” M.; Janna or Jennie; Ida; and Henry M. RIEBKES, all born between 1896 and 1910. Riebke died 16 Oct 1918 in Camp Dodge, IA and is buried in the East Friesland Cemetery in Grundy Co., IA. I’d like to get this treasure to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

I have in my possession an old photograph identified as Mack E. M. YOUNG which was taken at the Frank Kirby Studio in Eldora, IA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Mack likely in his 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Mack and his family: William McClelland or McClellan “Mack” YOUNG was b. 1 Sept 1864 in Sidney, IA to parents John C. YOUNG (b. 1820) and Eliza “Lida” Jane HANDLEY (1826-1886) who were married in Fremont Co., IA on 29 Dec 1862. Mack was one of three children born to this couple including Mary Agnes; William McClellan “Mack”; and Frank Stevens YOUNG, all born between 1863 and 1866. Mack’s mother was married two times previously and had four additional children including, Sarah Caroline; Mary Susan; and John Henry KELLISON, all born between 1845 and 1851, and then had another child, Isabella or Isabelle “Belle” EVANS (1859-1890). Mack married America ORR (1869-1958) and the couple had two children including Bessie Ann YOUNG BALDWIN (1899-1987) and Floyd McClelland YOUNG (1906-1950). Mack died 24 Dec 1948 in Shenandoah, IA and he is buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Shenandoah, IA. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone how might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

SHELTON Family Photographs
I've recovered three cabinet type photographs of Helen and Maude SHELTON which were all taken at the T. A. Dunlap Studio in Bloomfield, IA. The two girls are identified as being 6 years old at the time the photographs are taken. Helen is specifically identified as the daughter of E. K. SHELTON and Maude is the daughter of E. J. SHELTON. Maude is also identified as an aunt to Helen. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this SHELTON Family: Helen Elmo SHELTON was b. 8 Oct 1881 in Bloomfield, IA to parents Eberle Kost SHELTON (1854-1931) and Katherine “Kissie” Slater HAYES (1855-1929). Helen had two siblings, a sister Lucy I. SHELTON (1884-1902) and a brother Eberle Kost SHELTON Jr. (1888-1955). It appears that Helen may have married twice, first to Joseph J. NEWETT (age 33 at the time of the marriage) on 24 Jul 1902 in Buena Vista, CO. Second, she married Robert Lee SCHREIBER and they had a son Robert Lee SCHREIBER Jr. (1917-2006). Maude or Maud SHELTON was b. 3 Sept 1881 in Bloomfield, IA to parents Elijah Joslen “Joshua” SHELTON (1831-1923) and Allie or Ally or Alice Jane FENTON (1837-1888). Maude was one of 6 children born to this couple including Eberle Kost; Elmer; Charles D.; Maude; Lucy; and Edward Cass SHELTON, all born between 1854 and 1881. Maude was living with her sister and her family in Clay, IA during the 1900 census (noted below) and was teaching in Kenosha, WI by 1940 and was also a school principal there. Maude died 14 Aug 1982 in Kenosha, WI and is buried in the Steamboat Rock Cemetery in Steamboat Rock, IA. Maude’s obituary lists her surviving family members including a great nephew, Robert SCHREIBER of Woodlawn, CA; and two great nieces, Mrs. Roberta MUSGRAVE of Chicago, IL; and Mrs. Roberta RICE of Sacramento, CA. 1900 census of Clay, IA: James W. CALDWELL, age 48 Lucy S. CALDWELL, wife, age 41 Willard J. CALDWELL, son, age 21 Maud SHELTON, sister-in-law, age 18 I am hoping to see these three beautiful photographs returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
