Irene Hess Dunckel
I have an old studio photograph identified as Irene DUNCKEL which was taken at the Wentworth Studio in Fort Plain, NY in the 1880's. Irene appears to be in her 40's or 50's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Irene and her family:
Irena or Irene HESS was b. 22 Apr 1828 in Minden, NY to parents George Henry HESS (1795-1857) and Catherine “Caty” WORMUTH (1806-1892). Irene was one of 13 children born to this couple including Moses; Aaron; Irene; Solomon; Catherine; Adam; George M.; James; Matthew; Eva; Harlow; Irving or Irwin; and Louis HESS, all born between 1824 and 1851. Her father was married previously and had three additional children including Abraham; Mary or Maria; and Elizabeth HESS, all born between 1818 and 1822.
Irene married Aaron DUNCKEL (1820-1873) in 1846 in Minden, NY and the couple had 6 children including Mary Elizabeth; Adam; Ida C.; Selina or Salina; Margaret “Maggie” B.; and Lewis or Louis Adrian DUNCKEL, all born between 1847 and 1870. Irena died 1 Jan 1906 in Hessville, NY and is buried in the Fort Plain Cemetery in Fort Plain, NY.
I am hoping to get the photograph back to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
