I have made contact with a distant relative in Canada who sent me this photograph. Emeline Treadway (sometimes spelled Tredway) was the wife of Lucius Treadway, a dairy farmer in Wheeler Township. Lucius is described in one of the articles your historical society posted (The Sac Sun, June and July, 1877). Emmerette is my great grandmother and her sister Ida Matilda is the great grandmother of the person who sent me the photo.
The young woman on the far right, Leilah Cornelia, was the very
first person to be married in the First Presbyterian Church in Odebolt. She
married William Sheldon, March 2, 1881 and the minister was Rev. S.N. Vail.
I've also sent you a copy of the information I have collected so far on the
Treadway family. Thank you for your help and encouragement.
