The women to the right of the photo are Emma Anderson (sen) her mother, Trine, and daughter-in-law Margaret (Garrett) Anderson(sen). There is a note on the back of card undated which says "This is our house can you find me? I sleep upstairs by the two windows, See our service flag."

Barbara A. LeRoy sends us these two photos and refers us to her Kenosha family research at her web site: http://www.geocities.com/roots1620/Foster.html Please take a few moments to view her excellent work.

This is a photo of Olive Bettis Foster Terpening, mother of Andrew William Foster, Eliab Foster, Eliza Ann Foster Van Alstine, Sarahette Foster Dutton, and Julia Ann Foster Hicks, all of whom were pioneers of Kenosha Co, WI.

This photo is of Eliab Foster, who lived in Kenosha Co WI in the 1850s. Several of his siblings were Kenosha Co pioneers, and his mother lived here as well. Eliab's first wife, Jane Rebecca Clark, died here and is buried in Union Cemetery, along with one of his children, Martha J. Foster. Eliab married Jane's sister, Martha Jeanette Clark, as his second wife, and later moved to Ford Co. IL.

Shelley Cardiel writes: I've "rescued" an old photograph of Great Grandma KARPEN taken at the Rieth Studio in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The photograph includes two women and a young child and was probably taken in the 1890's. The oldest women (Great Grandma?) appears to be in her 50's or 60's, the younger women in her 20's, and the toddler (could be boy or girl) would appear to be about 2 years of age. I'm hoping that someone can identify the photograph so that it can be returned to the family. If you are a member of the KARPEN family from Kenosha or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Pearl and August Rasch Date taken: 1934 August was born March 8, 1877 in Randall Township, and died in March of 1958. He and Pearl were married July 28, 1933, but he was married previously.

This is a photo of the Maple Wood resort store, which at one time was operated by my great-great aunt, Pearl Clark Rasch and her husband August Rasch, a native of Kenosha Co. They ran the resort sometime in the early 1940's, to the best of my knowledge.

Can you identify this photo?

Taken about 1880 - based on woman's dress. Sign in the window says "Cat's Paw Heels - Nonslip Cushion." Sign on the building says "For Sale - J. Zens 204(?) Milw Ave" In the 1875 City Directory, John Zens was a shoemaker (but not at 204 Milw. Ave.) Could this be the John Zens family or just some people on the street?
