This picture was found among the belongings of my Grandfather Sheldon BAKER in Shelby, Oceana Co., MI.
Do you recognize this very lovely woman? This picture is believed to be a color rendering of my grandfather BAKER'S first wife Nettie WEIXLER. She died in 1907 at age 32 and is buried in the same cemetary as my grandfather. I have a photo of the family marker and her headstone. Recent research may connect her to a George WEIXLER in Benona Twp., Oceana Co. MI. George was a Civil War Veteran who fought with the 13th Michigan Infantry Regiment. He may also have purchased land in Benona Twp.
