I'm looking for descendants of Adele SCHWEDES (b. July 1873 in Indiana, d.
after 1930). She was a teacher in various Terre Haute schools and was a
member of the class of 1894 of Indiana State Normal School. She was the
daughter of Frances R. Schwedes (born May 1829 in Hesse Kassel, died Sept
26, 1903 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana) and wife Caroline (b. May
1839 in Prussia, died May 18, 1918 in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana).
Her father was a minister of gospel, according to the 1870 census for Fort
Wayne, Allen County, Indiana (they later moved to Vigo County, Indiana.)
Adele had siblings: Gustan (born about 1864 in Kentucky); Caroline (born
about 1866 in Kentucky); and Ottilie (born Jan. 1869 in Indiana). Her
parents both emigrated to the U.S. in the 1860's.
The Indiana Genealogical Society has a photo of Adele that was part of a
photo album of students from Indiana State Normal School. We would like to
give the photo to someone researching her family. If you can help, please
contact me directly at mere(a)augustmoondesign.com
