Ive rescued an old photograph of Agnes A. WEHRLE which was taken at the
J. W. Mosser Studio in Meade, KS. The photograph appears to have been taken
in the 1880s or 1890s and indicates that Agnes is 2 ½ years old at the
time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding Agnes and her family:
Agnes WEHRLE was b. 22 Jul 1886 to parents Francis WEHRLE (1850-1917) and
Anna C. CAIN (1852-1943). Agnes had at least 3 siblings, including Frank C.
WEHRLE (1878-1941); Anna WEHRLE (1882-1883); and George W. WEHRLE
(1893-1941). Agnes married Roy F. TODD (1882-1955) and she died 5 Sept 1984
and is buried in the Graceland Cemetery in Meade, KS.
