I've "rescued" an old photograph of Rose CARTIER which was taken in 1883 at
the J. G. Hill Studio in Monroe, MI. Rose appears to be in her 20's at the
time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Rose and her family:
Rosalia "Rose" or "Rosa" CARTIER was b. 31 Mar 1861 in Ludington or
Manistee, MI to parents Antoine Ephraim or Ephrem CARTIER (1836-1910) and
Elizabeth Ann E. "Eliza" AYERS (1842-1920). Rose was one of 9 children born
to this couple including, Rose; Louis A.; Warren Antoine; Ida Jane; George
Robinson; Dezera or Desire or Desera Ephraim; William; Charles Earnest; and
Eliza CARTIER, all born between 1861 and 1891. Rose married Charles W.
SOPER (b. 1860) and they had a son, George W. A. SOPER (1887-1897).
I am hoping to locate someone from Rose's family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member
of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
