This is in response to J.Melvin Zieler. Through an auction I purchased some of his
family's belongings...which included paintings, and photographs of him. I have his
scrapbook . And yes, he was a very accomplished artist. I have a newspaper clipping of
where he was friends with Rose O'Neill famed Kewpie doll inventor. He showed his art
at many galleries...Did you know that his family was directly related to Henry Purkitt of
the Boston Tea Party fame and Theodosia Burr wife of Aaron Burr? If you are related to
him, quite possibly you are related to them.
Anyway, I saw this thread and had to respond...hope that helps!
