I
have an old photograph of Charlie & Lizzie HEITZ which was taken at the New
York Gallery in Reading, PA. Lizzie is identified as "Aunt Lizzie".
Ordering information is also written on the back including hair and eye colors
as if an additional version on the photograph was being ordered by "Mrs.
HEITZ of Reamstown". Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding this couple:
?
Charles
¡°Charlie¡± C. HEITZ was b. 27 May 1868 in Brecknock, PA or Germany to parents
Frederick or Friederich Gottlieb HEITZ or HALZ (1840-1909) and Louisa GROTZ (1838-1904).? Charlie was one of three children born to
this couple including siblings Frederick HEITZ (b. 1873) and Anna Barbara HEITZ
WITWER (1880-1942).? Charlie married Elizabeth
¡°Lizzie¡± Horning FREDERICK (1868-1904) on 7 Dec 1889 in Lancaster, PA and they

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