Marguerite Rosenow Mitler
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Marguerite ROSENOW MITLER which was taken at the Ed Schultze Studio in Heidelberg, Germany. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Marguerite likely in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, she has written "To Florence with Marguerite's Love" and "Now Mrs. Earnest MITLER of NY" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Marguerite and her family:

Marguerite ROSENOW was b. 5 Feb 1886 in Walla Walla, WA to parents Albert ROSENOW and Celia DUSENBERY. Marguerite married Herbert Ernest MITLER (b. 1885 in Peoria, IL to parents Sigmund O. MITLER and Ernestine STERNBERG) on 14 Oct 1911 in Manhattan, NY. and had a son, Ernest Albert MITLER (1916-2002).

Census records provide the following details:

Shelley

She's so stylish - and well traveled! It's sad that this photo has been lost to her family. Perhaps you can help!

I know that most women wouldn't wear that style of blouse (neckline) today - but with the popularity of long sundresses, I would love to find the skirt in a modern syling!

There's a very good chance of that happening - there are lots of details, she had family, and we've seen it hundreds, if not thousands, of times before. It's always a thrill! :)

May I ask a question? My husband is tracing his family and found this marriage certificate of his great-great grandfather. In 3 different documents, his middle name, which he went by, was spelled 3 different ways! Anyway, to get married cost $1,250??? Am I reading that right?

Can you imagine how much money that was back then??? That's probably why there isn't a wedding photo! Couldn't afford it!

Nance - try AncientFaces and search for the surname and/or the person's name. If there haven't been any photos already submitted you can either keep checking back (hundreds of photos are shared every month) or you can submit a biography or a photo of a family member yourself (membership is entirely free). Often, submitting your own information encourages extended family to share their photos! Good luck in your hunt! :)
