Bud Noffsinger

I have an old studio photograph identified as Bud NOFFSINGER which was taken in the 1890's at the L. F. Smith Studio in El Paso, IL. Bud appears to be in his teens at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Bud and his family:

Zeria Austin “Bud” NOFSINGER or NOFFSINGER was b. 5 Feb 1874 in Woodford Co., IL to parents Marcus Rufus NOFFSINGER (1863-1901) and Rosanna or Rosina or Rosana WILSON (1851-1883). Bud had two siblings born to these same parents, sisters Carrie or Cary Susan NOFSINGER (1871-1933) and Ina Roena NOFFSINGER (1879-1879). After his mother died his father remarried and had 9 additional children including Elsie May or Mae or Mar; Bessie Jan; Sarah Belle; Sylvia Pearl; Cora Tima; Emma Gladys; Sarah “Sadie” Catherine; Mary Hazel; and Rufus Guy NOFSINGER, all born between 1885 and 1902.

Bud married Myrtle May or Mae RICKETTS or ELLIS (1881-1979) on 23 Dec 1900 in Jacksonville or Eureka, IL and died 1 Jan 1901 in Woodford Co., IL and is buried in the Roanoke Township Cemetery in Roanoke, IL.

I am hoping to get the photograph back to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
