I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lee SIDDALL'S Children which was
taken
at the Harrington Studio in Logansport, Indiana. Their names are noted as
Fern, Carl, and Verle. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
1890's or early 1900's with the three children likely 4-8 years old at the
time. Based on limited research and thanks to a SIDDALL Family Researcher,
I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:
Fern Ethel SIDDALL was b. 18 Oct 1894 in Atwater, OH to parents Levi
Wallace SIDDALL (b. 10 Nov 1868 in Atwater, OH-d. 9 Sept 1944 in Salem, OH)
and Maude E. BARTHOLOMEW (b. 27 Feb 1874 in Atwater, OH-1944). Fern was one
of 4 children born to this couple including, Carl Brady; Fern Ethel; Verle
Olive; and Hazel SIDDALL, all born between 1892 and 1900. Fern died 2 Feb
1904 in Atwater, OH. Fern is buried in the Atwater Cemetery in Atwater, OH.
Her sister Verle was b. 26 Jul 1897 in Atwater, OH and married Emery Adam
DIEHL (1887-1979). Verle and her husband has 6 children including Wallace
Siddall; Forrest Howard; Richard Carl; Nettie Arlene; Wendell Lee; and Gale
Lamont DIEHL. Verle died 25 Jun 1972 in Alliance, OH. The DIEHL Family
lived in Deerfield, OH at the time of Levi SIDDALL'S death.
Carl Brady SIDDALL was b. 30 May 1892 in Atwater, OH and married Elizabeth
Sophia REPP (1898-1991) in 1919 and together they had two children including
a son Robert Lee SIDDALL b. 1929. Carl died 25 Apr 1976 in Akron, OH and is
buried in the Mt. Peace Cemetery in Akron, OH. Carl was the VP at the Akron
Pure Milk Company at the time of his father's death. His son Robert SIDDALL
died in 1991 in Wayne, OH noting a surviving son, also named Robert SIDDALL
of Columbus, OH and his wife Jennifer HOOBLER. Their youngest sister Hazel
married into the OSBORNE Family and lived in Akron, OH at the time of her
father's death.

returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
