Subject: Re: [MARION COUNTY, IN] FOLTZ Family Photograph
There is a possibility this photo belongs to the family of a friend of my
Mother's. Jet and Indiana Foltz lived in Decatur twp Marion Co (Valley Mills
area) in the 1920s and 1930s. I'll do some research and let you know. If
this is part of her family, she would be delighted, I know, to have the
photograph.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Etta M. FOLTZ of
Valley Mills, Indiana
which was taken at the H.T. Biel Studio in Terre Haute, IN. The
photograph
was probably taken about 1890 with Etta appearing to be in her
20's at the
time. I believe that this is a photograph of Ettie M. FOLTZ who was
recorded with her parents Joseph & Huldah J. FOLTZ living in Decatur, IN
during the 1880 census.
Joseph was noted as 48 years of age, born in Ohio to a PA born father,
Huldah J. was listed as 47 years of age, born in IN to parents born in PA
and OH respectively. Three children were listed including Ettie M. age
12,
Jottie E. a son age 5, and John ELLIS a son age 17, with all listed
as
born
in IN.
Since John has a different last name I'm wondering if he might be Huldah's
by a previous marriage? Either that or reference to him being a son is
incorrect. The photograph was recovered in an album full of schoolmate
photographs with one inscribed "I.S.N.S. Class of 1889" with most taken in
studios in Terre Haute, IN.
I'm hoping to locate someone from Etta's family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are
a
member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact
me.
Thanks,
Shelley
