I've "rescued" an old photograph of the JEANNERET Family of Indiana. The
photograph includes Henry Spry JEANNERET, his wife Helen Taylor WALKER, and
children Robert & Katie JEANNERET. The photograph was taken at the H. R.
Cornell Studio in Ligonier, IN. I would guess that the photograph was taken
in the 1860's or 1870's with the couple likely in their 20's or 30's and
the
children appearing to be about 3-5 years old.
The family dog appears in the photograph as well. In addition to names,
someone has written page #'s on the back of the photograph, "page 164 and
166" as if it might refer to some family history book or genealogy. Based
on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
this family:
