I used to know a man named Irv Schnelker from New Haven and owner (I believe the owner of
Schnelker Marine). I think Herman was his grandfather or maybe even father. He is listed
in the phone book at 260-749-8733. Maybe he can help you?
Good luck..................

Subject: [INALLEN-L] Photos: SCHNELKER, VOORS, ZURBUCK, EHINGER
I found a couple of old photos of Schnelker descendants taken between 1900
and 1910 (possibly in 1906?) in New Haven, Indiana. I was told the four men in
the photo are Schnelker cousins, but don't think they are actual first
cousins.
The first man in the photo is my grandfather, Benedict Herman Lee, son of
Louise Helen Schnelker, daughter of Herman Schnelker (1931-1916) and his first
wife, Louisa Trentman.
I believe the second man might be John Zurbuck, husband of Mary Ellen
Schnelker (1868-1927), daughter of Herman Schnelker and 2nd wife, Mary Donohue.
There are two other men in the photo. They are either sons of Herman
Schnelker or sons-in-law. There are also three adorable blonde youngsters,
grandchildren of Herman Schnelker, sitting on laps of the three unidentified men.
A second photo is of Herman Schnelker and his fourth wife, Christine Ehinger,
sitting on their porch with four little blonde children, grandchildren of
Herman.
The second photo was very likely taken the same day as the first photo, as
two of the children from the first photo appear in this one also and seem to be
dressed in the same clothes.
Can anyone name those men or children?
