The photograph shown at left was found online in an Ancestry.com family tree and I DO NOT have that one in my possession. But I show it here for comparison. This photo is said to be identified as the wedding of Edwin C. Lyon and Carrie Victoria Anthony. Also in the photo is Carrie's sister Cora Anthony and her future husband. The priest at right has his eyes closed due to the camera flash. The image is rather blurry, but one can see that the wedding couple's clothing is very similar. Carrie may have her sleeves rolled up (or removed) in the seated version.

Edwin Clarke Lyon (b. 27 Sep 1877) is a son of Hervy Lyon (1836-1927) and Louisa J. Handshy/Handsley? (1846-1895).  In 1907, he married a school teacher Carrie V. Anthony (1884-1934) whose parents are not known but reported by Carrie on the 1920 Census as being born in NY.

Edwin registered for the WWI Draft, stating his occupation was "pipe-fitter for Boyne City Chemical Company."  At some point Edwin and Carrie moved to Memphis Tennessee where he continues to work in the Chemical industry.

These are two of the daughters of Anthony Remaley and Mary Lorena Daugherty. Violet Bell Remaley was born 9 Feb 1885. Lillie Caroline "Cora" Remaley was born 13 Oct 1888. Lillie's twin, Linda, died in 1904. Lillie's name often appears as "Lily."

REMALEY, Linda (twin), daughter, 11, Oct 1888, born in PA of PA parents
REMALEY, Lillie (twin), daughter, 11, Oct 1888, born in PA of PA parents

(Violet and Lillie also had a brother Joseph (1892-1957) who should be on the 1900 Census, but isn't. I cannot imagine why not.)

Violet married Jonathan Minnick (a box maker at a glass company) on 5 May 1906. She had twins in 1910.

Violet Remaly-Minnick died 29 Jun 1949 in Brackenridge PA at age 64, widow of John A. Minnick. Informant was son Forrest Minnick. Buried in Mt Airy Cemetery, Allegheny County, PA.

Violet's children:

• Forrest W. Minnick (1907-1977) (Sgt in WWII)

• Joseph Dalton Minnick (1910-1963) (twin)
• Marian Luella Minnick (1913- ) m. Max H. Cribbs

Lillie married Alfred J. Hartman on 4 August 1906.

Her young family appears on the 1910 Census:

1910 Census > Pennsylvania > Westmoreland > Vandergrift Heights
HARTMAN, Alfred, head, 25, md 4 yrs, born in PA of PA parents, works in sheet metal mill
HARTMAN, Lillie, wife, 22, mother of 2, both living, born in PA of PA parents
HARTMAN, Linda, daughter, 3, born in PA
HARTMAN, Glenn, son, 1y4mo, born in PA

Sadly, Lillie would not live to see the 1920 Census, as she died 19 Oct 1918, at age 30 of pneumonia.

As far as I can ascertain, this is the list of Lillie's children:

• Linda May Hartman (1 May 1907 - 1975) m. Mark Boettner
• Edward Glenn Hartman (7 Oct 1908 - 1989) m. Lucy Rizzardi
• Norman Hartman (1910-1979) m. Bessie Grace Laughery
• Edna Madeline Hartman (1912-1980) m. Roy Oliver Hines
• Joseph W. Hartman (1917- )

KRISCHKE, Alice Jane

ALICE JANE KRISCHKE

Identification on photo: Allice Krischke

Photo taken: J.A. Edmiston, photographer, Canton Illinois, circa 1880-84

Purchased: 2019 Jan at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show

It was only with the aid of people on various FaceBook genealogy groups, that we were able to decipher the handwriting that identified the subject of this photo. In the end, we all agreed on "Allice Krischke", especially after noting that the capital K is not connected, and neither is the smaller k toward the end of the surname.

The tight finger-curls framing the face were popular in the late 1870s and then again in the 1920s. The dress is current to about 1880-1884.

There was a large Krischke family living in Canton Illinois and they appear on the 1880 Census.

At age 28, on 29 May 1889, Alice married 29 year old Edgar Bredwell, a salesman in Canton, a son of Sylvester Bredwell and Martha Heins. The marriage records indicate that Alice is a daughter of Joseph Krischke and Mary C. (Johnson).

(Lela is Edward's daughter from a first wife Mary Brokaw who died in 1885.)

Edgar Bredwell apparently died around 1918. There is a Civil War pension that Alice applied for Aug 3, 1918 and her name appears on the line "widow."

By the time of the 1920 Census, Alice Bredwell is living with her brother Charles Kreschke, who runs a meat market. Both report their father was born in Austria.

In the 1930 Census, Alice still resides with her brother Charles in Canton. Her son Joseph moves in shortly afterward.

Alice Jane Bredwell died in Globe Arizona, May 12, 1941 at the age of 79 yrs, 8 month, 17 days. Her usual occupation was housewife. Her father Joseph Krischke was born in Silesia Austria. Her mother Mary E. Johnson was born in Lewis Co. KY. The informant is her son "Edgar" whom I take to be Marion E. Bredwell. He is also buried at the same BPOE Rest Cemetery, so I assume she was living with him at the time. Her Findagrave memorial is at this link.

Here is her obituary in the Miami Arizona paper.

This photo of Lena Severance-Stabler was taken probably between 1930 and 1935 in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Lena was born 29 Aug 1907, the daughter of Earl Severance (1882-1948) and Grace De Groot (1885-1956). She had an older brother Aaron (1905-1985).

She appears on the following Federal Census records:

DeGROOT, Carrie, mother-in-law, 67, born in MI of MI parents,
POWER, Jane, grandmother, 89, born in MI of NY and NJ parents

Lena attended Ann Arbor High School, and I was able to find this photograph of her in the 1927 Year Book.

In August 1935, Lena married Donald G Staebler (1910-2017), son of Albert J. Staebler (1877-1951) and Ella L. Goodell (1881-1977). Donald attended Ypsilanti High School, graduating in 1929. He attended Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) graduating in 1934 with a BS in Industrial Arts, and a life Certificate to teach.

At the time of their marriage, Donald (age 25) was employed as a teacher in Ann Arbor, and Lena (age 27) was employed as a saleslady at S.S. Kresge Company.

Lena died 1991.

Lena's husband Donald lived to the ripe old age of 106. They are buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in Dixboro, Michigan.
