I have an newspaper article about a Charles Wetzel. Here is a quote from the
THE SUNDAY ADVERTISER
"He calls the sunfish Blue Bream, but they are sunfish, nevertheless.

One catch in a Wayne county pond recently, with hook and line, he said netted him and his companion, Dr. M. B. Moore, about 500 blue bream." ... show more

The Mystery

This photo is also from Anna Wetzels photo album. If this is Charles b/ 1885 then it could be her brother/half brother or ? Another article said Charles was secretary to the Jackson Savings & Loan Company.
