I've "rescued" an old photograph of Walter E. VIOL which was taken when he
was 3 months old. There is no studio or location noted on the photograph.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information:
Walter E. VIOL was b. 8 Dec 1887 in Lafayette, IN born to parents Alfred
Ernst VIOL (1859-1936) and Mary Rosalie HERMAN or HARRISON (1863-1960).
Walter was one of 4 children born to this couple including, Charles H.;
Walter E.; Berenice L.; and Marie Elizabeth VIOL, all born between 1886 and
1892. Walter married Elizabeth Alice COCHRAN (1888-1977) in 1911 and the
couple had two sons, Walter Cochran VIOL (1912-2003) and Jackson M. VIOL
(1914-2014). Walter died 14 Oct 1971 in Lafayette, IN and he was buried in
the Spring Vale Cemetery in Lafayette, IN.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be
returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
