Found in Genesee County NY, this is a wonderful portrait of Edna Bantle and a clearly signed photo. Her father, George Paul Bantle, was a conductor on the railroad, most likely the Erie Railroad. His parents were Thaddeus Bantle, born in Wurt, Germany and Mary Haberer Bantle, born in New York.

This is a beautiful kid, and a beautiful photo, as well as a great old piece of Bantle and McMurray family history. She married a Canadian, John A. McMurray.

    Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
