I've recovered an old photograph of Hattie WISE SPAIDE of
Meadville, PA. The photograph was taken at the Fowler Studio in Meadville
sometime in the 1880's or 1890's with Hattie appearing to be in her teens or
20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able
to gather the following information regarding Hattie and her family:
?
Harriet ¡°Hattie¡± Della WISE was b. 28 Dec 1875 in Venango
Co., PA to parents Samuel Alexander WISE (1847-1928) and Lydia ¡°Liddie¡± Ann
TRACY or TRACEY (1851-1915).? Hattie was
one of 5 children born to this couple including Effie Mae; Hattie; Chauncey
Victor; Milton William; and Rose WISE, all born between 1873 and 1885.? Hattie married John George SPAID (1865-1945) on
27 Mar 1894 in Meadville, PA and they had two children including Alice May or
Mae SPAID (1896-1971) and Myrtle B. SPAID (1904-1987).? Hattie died 14 Oct 1956 in Meadville, PA and is
buried in the Mount Blair Cemetery in Woodcock Township, Crawford Co., PA.

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the
photograph can be returned to the care of Hattie¡¯s family.? If you are a member of this family or know someone
who might be, please contact me.
