I have three studio photographs of Edward KETTELFORDER which appear to have been taken in the 1890's with Edward appearing to be in his teens or 20's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Edward and his family:
Edward H. KETTELFORDER was b. 3 Jun 1874 in Richmond, IN to parents John Henry KETTELFORDER (1828-1891) and Mary Ellen KEMPER (1832-1912) who were married 4 Aug 1853 in Indiana. Edward was one of 7 children born to this couple including Mary Elizabeth; Catherine Caroline; Herman Henry; Anna Mary; Mary Ellen “Ella” May; John Henry; and Edward H. KETTELFORD, all born between 1853 and 1874.
Edward married Louise Dorthea SCHULTZ (1872 or 1876-1926) on 19 Nov 1902 in Wayne County, IN, and they had a son, Paul E, KETTELFORDER (1907-1970) and two daughters, Elma L. KETTLEFORDER (1903-1905); and Gladys M. KETTELFORDER EGGERT (1910-1940). Edward died 24 Jan 1939 in Richmond, IN and is buried in the Lutherania Cemetery in Richmond, IN. Some records have the surname spelled as KETTLEFORDER as well.
I would like to get the photographs to family and appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
