WACKERBARTH Family Photograph

I have an old studio photograph of Mr. & Mrs. Henry WACKERBARTH of Sanborn, IA. The photograph was taken in the 1890's at the J. D. Long Studio in Sanborn, IA with the couple likely in their 20's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this couple:

Henry WACKERBARTH was b. 25 Mar 1872 in Germany to parents Jacob WACKERBARTH (1843-1925) and Anna Gertrude STEINMETZ (1846-1932) who were married 2 Mar 1869 in Germany.? The family came to the USA in Feb 1887 and Henry married Therese or Theresa Pauline Mathilda NEITZKE (1877-1938) on 9 Mar 1899 in Goewey, IA.? The couple had four children including Carl Adam; Gertrude Augusta; Fredridck William; and Roy Herbert WACKERBARTH, all born between 1900 and 1918.? Henry died 26 May 1938 in Sioux City, IA and is buried in the Roseland Cemetery in Sanborn, IA.? At the time of his death his son Fred WACKERBARTH was living in Casa Grande, AZ; his brother Adam WACKERBARTH was living in Chehalis, WA; and his daughter, Gertrude SCHMIDT in Melvin, IA.

His wife Theresa was b. 10 Sept 1877 in Germany and came to the USA with her family in 1882 settling in Osceola Co., IA including her parents Carl Friedrick Erdman NEITZKE (1848-1923) and Augusta Johanna KLINGFEIL (1848-1918) who were married in 1876.? When she died in 1938 in Melvin, IA her obituary listed the same family members identified above and three brothers John NEITZKE of Paullina, IA; Herman NEITZKE of Ocheyedan, IA; and William NEITZKE of Breda, 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

BROWNLEE - BAKER Family Photograph

I've recovered a photograph of Ethel Florence BROWNLEE which was taken at the DeLuxe Studio in Sioux City, IA when she was 6 months old and mailed to Miss Hattie BAKER in Primghar, IA on 9 Aug 1911 from Sioux City, IA.? The card is addressed "Dear Cousin" and is signed "Will and Hattie".? Based on limited research I found that Ethel's Father William "Will" BROWNLEE is a cousin to Miss Hattie BAKER as William's Father James BROWNLEE is a brother to Hattie's Mother Martha BROWNLEE BAKER.? Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Ethel and her family:

Ethel Florence BROWNLEE was b. 19 Dec 1910 in Sioux City, IA to parents William James BROWNLEE (1889-1944) and Hattie Leona WALKER (b. 1889) who were married 18 Dec 1909 in Woodbury Co., IA.? Ethel was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Ethel Florence; William Lloyd; Blanche Leona; Violet Bernice or Berniece; Ruby Phyllis; and James Robert BROWNLEE, all born between 1910 and 1926.? Ethel married William J. COTTRELL (b. 1909) on 15 Oct 1932 in Vermillion, SD and they had one daughter, Donna Jean COTTRELL (1933-2002).? Ethel died 31 Oct 2002 in Sioux City, IA.

Hattie Mae BAKER was b. 11 Apr 1889 in Luana, IA to parents Philip Ellsworth or Elensworth BAKER (1850-1940) and Martha BROWNLEE (1852-1940) who were married 22 Dec 1875 in Jackson Co., IA.? Hattie was one of 5 children born to this couple including William J.; Sheldon J.; Adaline “Addie” Hadden; Hattie Mae; and Helen Fern BAKER, all born between 1878 and 1891.? Hattie married Walter William GAST (1876-1951) on 21 Mar 1912 in Primghar, IA and they had three children including Alyce Margaret; John Donald; and Phyllis Martha GAST, all born between 1913 and 1926.? Hattie died 27 May 1934 in Monona, IA and is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Waukon Junction, IA.

I am hoping to return the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
