Welcome to the Mystery Photo
Page!
Can you name the people in
the photo?
If so please email the link
under the photo..
Lets see if we can't make
a connection here!
This is an old "tin type" picture found in
my grandparent's photo album.
There woman is not identified on the picture.
There are no markings on the
picture that would provide a clue as to its
origins. Apparently, my
grandparents did not even know who she was.
Both grandparents died in their
80's a few years ago. They were Martin and
Sopie (Herm) Bartels and lived in
Lakewood, WI.
The possible families include Bartels, Wickman,
Wasmund, Prahl, Papendorf,
Herm, Zimmel and related families - all of
Shawano County. Most resided in
the Town of Washington and attended White
Clay Lake Church.
I have often thought of running the picture
in the Shawano picture to see if
that would bring any clues, but haven't done
so. I thought this would be
worth a shot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are four cousins from the rural area
of the Town of Hutchins in Shawano Co.
The back
row is John Sigfred Johnson b5/21/1878, and the other is Walter A. Johnson
b7/27/1890
(these two are cousins). The two in front look younger. Who
are they? We are
trying to find
out. (John was my grandfather)
