Circa 1890s-1900s photos of Rose Bloch & husband Fred Otley
I purchased in Healdsburg, CA the subject undated studio portraits. The earlier photo is of a teenage girl taken by Hardy, Healdsburg, CA and it is identified on the back of the mount:
"Rose. Bloch."
The other photo of a young couple taken by Burton M. Hodson, Sacramento, CA and it is identified on the back of the mount:
"Uncle Florence [partially erased]
Rose Bloch
& her husband
Fred Otley"
Rose Austin Bloch appears in Public Member Trees posted on ancestry.comBorn 15 Aug 1885 in CA, died 20 Apr 1975 in Eugene, Lane Co., OR, she was the daughter of George Bloch (1863-) and Laura Ottermer (sp.?)I question the spelling of her mother's name. Rose's maternal grandfather was Henry Christian Ottmer, M.D. (1826-) and she resided with him at the time of the 1900 enumeration (Census data for Mendocino Township, Sonoma Co., CA).Dr. Ottmer had a daughter named Lora Ottmer, but she married a Mr. LeBaron.The possibility exits that this photo is misidentified, especially considering the partial erasure.
Rose is also listed in the 1910 Census data for Saddle Butte Precinct, Harney Co., OR; the 1920 Census data for Lawen Precinct, Harney Co., OR; the 1930 Census data for Coyote Precinct (resided on Crow Stage Road), Lane Co., OR; and the 1940 Census data for Crow, Lane Co., OR.Rose and Fred had 8 children: Bessie Otley (1904-), Frank Leon Otley (1905-1991), Isabel Otley (1908-), Marion E. Otley (1908-), Ida L. Otley (1910-), Donald Otley (1914-2000), George Otley (1918-), and Alice Otley (1923-).
