The following is a photo that was shared to the PGS by Ron HEILMAN in Nov 2007 of

THE John and Mary (VIRNIE)(VIRNIA)(VINIA) STONEMAN Family - about 1875 - who were farmers living in the Town of Forestville, Door County, Wisconsin.

The photograph was a very light image, having faded away over the years, had been defaced by someone using a pencil to put holes where the eyes were in each of the individuals (or poking them out). Sue HOHNEKE has attempted to retouch the photograph using Picture-It Software. 

The following are the original image Ron sent to us and the retouched image.  We hope that this is helpful to those who have family ties to the family!

Computer software for retouching photographs is a wonderful thing!
