MARTIN & AGNES STARK
Identification on photo: Martin and Agnes Stark
Photo taken: Mills Studio, Wheaton ILL, most likely 19 May 1911
Purchased: Feb 2020 Kamin's Moment in Time, South Florida Fairgrounds Antiques Show
This appears to be the wedding photo of Martin and Agnes Stark, taken in Wheaton Illinois, but the couple lived much of their life in nearby Bloomingdale Illinois.
Martin Thadeaus Henry STARK (born 30 Nov 1888 in Illinois, died 28 Oct 1962) the son of Martin Stark & Mathilde Harmening.
Agnes Catherine STARK (born May 18, 1888, died 18 Mar 1957) the daughter of Charles Stark & Adeline Yackley.
Martin and Agnes were married on 19 May 1911. Their grandfathers were brothers, making this couple second cousins to each other.
All of their children were born in Illinois:
- Vernon Charles (1912-1991)
- Raymond William (1913- 1992)
- Millard Edward (1914-1980)
- Olive Matilda (1916-2005) married Erv Nagel
- Albert Joseph (1919-2002)
- Martin Albert Jr (1920-1923)
- Warren Edward (1924-1994)
- William Mark (1925- 13 Jan 1928) died in Elgin IL
- Charles John (1926- 14 Jan 1928) died in Elgin IL
- Franklin Max (1929-2015)
I cannot find the reason why two young brothers died within a day of each other in 1928.
This photograph of the couple taken much later was found elsewhere on the internet. I do not possess this photo and include it here for comparison. I only have the wedding photo shown above.
