I
have an old studio photograph of Howard & Anna DACK which was taken in the
1900's. Someone has also written the word "Fisher" on the back of the
photograph as well. The couple appears to be in their 20's at the time the
photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following
information regarding this couple:
?
Howard
Fisher DACK was b. 15 Aug 1888 in Kincardine Township, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada,
or Austria to parents Edgar Charles DACK (1859-1923) and Adda or Ada “Addie” Emma
Anna FISHER (1862-1936).? Howard had one
sibling, a sister Margaret Edna DACK (1893-1952).
?
Anna
Fordella KNAUSS or KNAUSE was b. 23 Oct 1887 in Jordan Township, Monona Co., IA
to parents William Wesley KNAUSS or KNAUSE (1851-1922) and Catharine or
Katharine “Kate” Abigail HILLMAN (1853-1946).?
Anna was one of 5 children born to this couple including Stella Myrtle; Minnebelle
“Minnie” Lorraine or Alice or Lorraime; Lewis Cleveland; Anna; and Myrtle
Lucelle KNAUSS, all born between 1878 and 1890.
?
Howard
and Anna married on 26 Feb 1909 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and they had two
children including Manila DACK (b. 1910) and Cecile Fordella DACK (1910-1989).
Howard died 26 Oct 1953 in Victoria, BC, Canada and is buried in the Ross Bay
Cemetery in Victoria.? Anna died 4 Nov 1961
in Alameda County, CA.

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

Thanks,
Shelley
