HAHNE, ENDERS and DONLEY


These three photos were found together in the same box at a booth in the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds December antique show.  They are each labeled in what appears to be the same pen with light blue ink, and the same penmanship. I believe they are related in some way; either sisters, cousins or friends of the same person.





SOPHIE HAHNE-ENDERS

Identification on photo: SOPHIE ENDERS
Photo taken: French Studio, Ravenna Ohio, circa 1884-1900
Purchased: Dec 2017 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show

Sophie was born 1858 in Pennsylvania, and appears as a 12yo on the 1870 Census for Ravenna OH, living with her father August (a glassworker)(1818-1892) and mother Katharine Spaniol-Hahne (1823-1911).

Her father August William Henry HAHNE died 1892, at age 74. 

Sophie and her siblings are:
Helena
August Jr
Emma
William
Louisa
Sophia
Henry
Clara
Caroline

KATE HAHNE

Identification on photo: KATE HAHNE
Photo taken: W.B. Cuyler, Greenfield Indiana, circa 1893-95
Purchased: Dec 2017 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show

Because leg-o-mutton sleeves were fashionable from about 1893-95, and as Kate appears to be around 20 years old in the photo, we can put Kate's birth year at around 1873.

I believe this is Katheryne CAREY-HAHNE (1873-1935), wife of Sophie's younger brother Henry HAHNE. They lived in Indiana.







ADDIE DONLEY

Identification on photo: ADDIE DONLEY
Photo taken: no marks, circa 1884-1900
Purchased: Dec 2017 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show

Charles DONLEY & Addie E. CROOP applied for Marriage License in Ravenna Ohio, according to Ravenna Ohio Democratic Press, January 15, 1890. Married 9 Jan 1890.

On the 1900 Census, Charles and Addie live in Shalersville, Portage County, OH, farming. They live with son Roy (or Ray) E. Donley, age 7, and Addie's father Elias Croop, 80, who was born in Pennsylvania, of German immigrant parents.

On the 1910 Census, at Shalersville, OH, Charles and Addie Donley (age 46) are farming. They live with son Ray (17) and daughter Gracie (6), also Addie's father Elias Croop (90) and a niece Ester Howard (15).

On the 1930 Census, Ravenna, OH, Charles and Addie Donley appear. 66 and 67 respectively. Charles works on a chicken farm.

I believe Addie must be a friend and neighbor of the Hahne family which lived in Ravenna, Portage county, Ohio. Alas, if only there were an 1890 census! It might be possible to prove they were neighbors.
