I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ivy KEIZER which was taken at the A. C.
Isaac Studio in Madison, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with Ivy noted as 1 1/2 years old at the time. In
addition to her name, someone has also written "daughter of Mart KEIZER" and
"Martin KEIZER born Sept 6, 1851 Ft. Atkinson, WI, lived in N. La Cross,
Wis., died in St. Paul" and "Martin "Mart" KEIZER 2nd bro of
Elizabeth
KEIZER WILSON".
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following census
information regarding this family:
1880 census of Onalaska, WI:
Martin C. KAISER, age 28, a River Log Worker, born IL, parents born Holland
Emma KAISER, wife, age 25, Keeping House, born IA, parents born Holland
1900 census of La Crosse, WI:
Martin KEIZER, age 48, born Sept 1851, married 20 years, born WI, parents
born Holland, an Ice Dealer
Emma KEIZER, wife, age 43, born Jul 1856, married 20 years, 4 children/2
living, born IA, parents born Holland
Iva KEIZER, dau, age 16, born Oct 1883, born WI, at School
Vera KEIZER, dau, age 5, born Mar 1895, born WI
Libbie CASE, siser-in-law, age 24, born Dec 1875, born WI, parents born
Holland, a Dressmaker
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
