I have an old studio photograph of Sebastian WILLACKER which was taken at the Pennington Studio in New Washington, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's with Sebastian likely in his 60's at the time it was taken. He is also identified as "Cousin to Great Grandma WIETHMANS". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Sebastian and his family:
Sebastian WILLACKER was b. 17 or 19 or 26 Mar 1830 in Nuremberg or Vasbuhl, Germany to parents Adam WILLACKER (1799-1874) and Elizabeth “Elise” or “Elsie” SCHMUCK (1803-1870) who were married 19 Aug 1823 in Vasbuhl, Germany. Sebastian was one of 19 children born to this couple including Eva; Anton; Adam; Adam; Anton; Jonas; Sebastian; Barbara; Andrew; Andrew; Eva; Eva; Kasper Boniface; Anna Elizabeth; A. M. Franzika; Anonyma; Margaret Antonia; Franz Ludwig; and George Severin WILLACKER, all born between 1824 and 1852.
Sebastian married Mary Magdalena or Madaline “Lena” KELLER (1834-1902) on 3 Sept 1854 in Vasbuhl, Germany and they had 10 children including Magdalena Philomena “Minnie”; Elizabeth “Lizzie”; Victoria Barbara; George B. or P.; Charles Sebastian; Joseph Anthony; John Henry; Mary Sheridan; Peter Alphonse; and Michael WILLACKER all born between 1855 and 1875. Sebastian died 7 or 14 or 16 or 17 Dec 1911 in Mayfield or Traverse City, MI and he is buried in the Saint Mary of Hannah Catholic Church Cemetery in Hannah, MI.
I would love to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

I have an old studio photograph identified as Meb MORRISON which was taken at the Ricklin & Brookbart Studio in Eldon, IA. The photograph was taken in 1900 with Meb appearing to be about 4 years old at the time it was taken. I believe that this is a photograph of Medburn "Meb" Creamer MORRISON and based on limited research has gathered the following information regarding Meb and his family:
Medburn “Meb” Cremer or Creamer MORRISON was b. 26 Mar 1897 in Washington, IA to parents William Blanchard MORRISON (b. 1869) and Amanda “Manda” Blanche or Blanch CREMER (b. 1872) who were married on 6 Mar 1890 in Washington Township, Wapello Co., IA. Meb was one of 5 children born to this couple including Micher D.; Mildred Hazel; Membrer G.; Medburn “Meb” Cremer or Creamer; and Hellen or Helen Irene MORRISON, all born between 1894 and 1906.
Meb was married twice, first to Florence Lettie or Letta LATTA (1899-1971) on 22 Dec 1920 in Ottumwa, IA and they had a daughter Ruth Araminta or Armita MORRISON (1921-2010). He was then married to Ann or Anna Elizabeth SCHIKORSKY (1903-1987) on 28 or 29 Apr 1936 in St. Louis County, MO. Meb died on 20 May 1969 in Portland, OR and is buried at the Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery in Portland, OR.
I’d like to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
