In my rooting through a flea market ( at the big barn on the way to Hanover for any of you locals) today I found several photos which appeared to be connected Emig, Bowers and Wolf family members.
In my search in census records I was able to pinpoint the photos as being: a (1) photo of Vergie Viola Bowers(Emig) in infancy. A search for Vergie Viola Bowers gave me her parents as Jacob and Mary
Bowers. In the 1880 census Mary Bowers was widowed and living with her daughter Elizabeth and her husband Frederick Wolf. Photograph (2) is of Lizzie Bowers and Fred Wolf. The(3)last photo is of William and Emma Emig "cousins".
I paid $16 for these photos and if you are interested I would also ask for the cost of postage, abt $3-4.00. I make nothing from this. I just like to help these lost photos find a home and perhaps help preserve some history.
I will include my notes so you can follow how I connected these families. I will be posting this on Genforum.com on the Emig, Bowers and Wolf pages. Once these are gone, they are gone. I do not keep copies.
