Yettie Blaul
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Yettie BLAUL which was taken at the Blaul & Co. Studio in Philadelphia, PA. I don’t know if “Yettie” is a nickname or her actual first name. Someone has also written “Be” or “Ze” on the reverse of the photograph. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880’s or early 1890’s with the young woman likely in her teens or 20’s at the time. The word “Penfield” is also written on the bottom of the photograph as well, not sure if it refers to a school or neighborhood or group or family name. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding who I believe is pictured in the photograph:
Henrietta “Yettie” BLAUL was born 12 Mar 1861 in Poughkeepsie, NY to parents Jacob BLAUL (b. Germany) and Henrietta CLAUZ (born Germany) and married Alonzo Potter YOUNG (b. 20 Oct 1858 in Philadelphia, PA) in 1890 in Philadelphia, PA and together they had three children including, Raymond Blaul; Louis A.; and Margerite V. YOUNG all born in Philadelphia, PA between 1891 and 1896. By 1922 they were in living in Los Angeles, CA. Henrietta BLAUL YOUNG died 4 Nov 1936 in Narberth, PA and was buried in Lancaster, PA.

Thanks,
Shelley
