1912 Class Photograph
Taken at the Rice Studio in North Manchester, IN
Originally belonged to Bessie SNYDER RABER of Logansport, IN
Including 14 classmates and staff members photographs all pictured together including Roy GEIGER. Based on limited research I believe that this is a photograph of Leroy “Roy” GEIGER and have gathered the following information regarding Leroy and his family:
Leroy “Roy” GEIGER was b. 21 Apr 1891 in Hastings or Milford, IN to parents John Henry GEIGER (1844-1921) and Mary Ann RINGGENBERG or RINKENBERGER or RINGENBERG (1853-1918). Roy was one of 11 children born to this couple including Franklin Pierce; Charles Henry; William Irvin “Dick”; Laura; Emma or Emily; Cora; Walter Rudolph; Walter L.; Ancil or Ansel Lafayette; Leroy “Roy”; and C. Harve or Harvey or Harney GEIGER, all born between1872 and 1893.
Roy married twice, first to Ruby Octavia BEUOY (1897-1924) on 18 Jun 1919 in Grant County, IN and second to Violet Juanita RUSH (1895-1981) in 1934. Roy and Ruby had one daughter, Gladys Irene GEIGER (1923-2010) and some records indicate he had a second daughter, maybe with this second wife. Roy died 18 or 19 Jun 1957 in Syracuse or La Porte, IN and is buried in the Leesburg Cemetery in Leesburg, IN.
I’d like to get his photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
