STAUFFER - BECHTEL Family Photograph


 

I have an old studio photograph of Olivia STAUFFER which was taken at the Saylor's Studio in Reading, PA in the 1890's.? Olivia appears to be in her teens at the time it was taken and is also identified as "Cousin".? Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Olivia and her family:

?

Olivia STAUFFER was b. 7 Apr 1879 in Pennsylvania to parents Edwin Hunsberger STAUFFER (1851-1925) and Levina or Lovina or Lavinia Cleaver BECHTEL (1855-1912) who were married in Pennsylvania in 1878.? Olivia had two siblings, a brother William Bechtel STAUFFER (1879-1954) and another brother James STAUFFER (b. 1898).? Olivia married Maurice GRAF (1873-1949) on 9 Jun 1899 in Reading, PA and they had 6 children including Frederick; Mary Elizabeth; Edwin Stauffer; Anna Frances; Charles S.; and Paul William GRAF, all born between 1899 and 1911.? Olivia died 23 Jan 1940 and she is buried in the Union Cemetery in Bechtelsville, PA.

?

I would like to get this photograph back to family and appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,

Shelley
