I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as that of Rosetta BLOWERS
KRUZAR and her husband Edward KRUZAR with their girls. The photograph
appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the couple in their 20's
or 30's and the two children from infant to about 4 years old age. Based on
limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
Rosetta and her family:
Georgia Rosetta FERRIS was b. in 1891 or 1892 to parents Joseph Robinson
FERRIS (b. 1859) and Sarah Adelia ZERBA (1861-1941). Rosetta had one sister
Jessie Grace FERRIS (1885-1981). Her Mother had a second marriage to
William Judson BLOWERS (1854-1944) and they had a son, Alva Ellis BLOWERS
born in 1901. Rosetta married Edward KREUZER (1891-1990) and Rosetta died
in 1970.

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