I've "rescued" an old photograph of R. L. VANDERHULE and his wife. The
photograph was taken at the Von Dieck Studio in Chicago, Illinois. The
photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the couple
likely in their 60's or 70's at the time it was taken. Based on limited
research I was able to gather the following information regarding the
couple:
Robert VANDERHULE married Charlotte Ruth PHILLIPS b. 20 Sept 1833 in
Windsor, NY
Census records trace the couple as follows:

family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be,
