Peter Weber

Pictured here is the death certificate of Peter Weber. Peter was my grandmother, Eva Rose Weber's brother. Grandma use to tell me was that she was told by her father that Peter died young.

I finally found this death certificate for Peter a few years after Grandma passed away.

Peter was interred at St. Boniface Cemetery, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. A call to the cemetery found that he was interred in a term grave which term for use was only 20 years. This detail shows the level of poverty of this young family. One must think it was very difficult for this young couple to bury their nearly three year old son with their three older sons Joseph Peter (10), Michael Wendel(8) and John P.(6) requiring their attention as well.

Anna Maie (Clark) Gatchell

Here's my great grandmother, Anna Maie Clark. My own middle name is from her maiden name.

I'm guessing this was a vacation picture of maybe in Florida? She was born in Illinois but passed away in Indiana.

Millard Clark Gatchell's Navy issue

This small card showing the basic naval issue of equipment was found in Millard Clark Gatchell's possession when he passed away. The bag layout must have been part of his naval training that he attended at the US Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Illinois.

Mae (Clark) Gatchell

Anna 'Mae' (Clark) Gatchell was born 29 Mar 1896 in Sheldon, Iroquios County, Illionois to Charles H. Clark & Matilda M. Hoagland. Mae passed away 9 Nov 1924 in Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana.
