I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ada CHASTEEN which was taken at the
Carmichael Studio in LeSueur, Minnesota. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1890's with Ada likely in her teens at the time it was
taken. In addition to her name, she appears to have written "To Uncle John"
on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Ada and her family:
Ada Regina CHASTEEN was b. 1 Oct 1878 in Le Sueur, MN to parents Renford
Gilbert CHASTEEN (b. 1 Mar 1854 in Bloomington, IN) and Doris Emma SEEBECK
(b. 30 Sept 1857 in Hanover, Germany). Ada married William Henry SCOTT (b.
22 Jul 1871 in Ottawa, MN) on 27 Jan 1898 in Le Sueur Center, MN and
together they had 10 children, including Earl Leslie; Hazel Alean; Lloyd;
Floyd Edmond; Edna May; Doris Louise; Roland Leroy; Dorothy Mabel; Gladys
Juanita; and Ruth Irene SCOTT all born between 1898 and 1922 in Le Sueur,
Mankato, and Lake Crystal, MN.
Ada CHASTEEN SCOTT died 8 Nov 1952 in Minneapolis, MN.

I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that the photograph can be
returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know
someone who might be, please contact me.
