I have in my possession and old studio photograph of Violet SCHULTZ FITTON. There is no studio or location identified on the photograph. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with Violet likely 20’s at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Violet and her family:
Violet M. SCHULTZ was b. 23 May 1887 in Buffalo, NY to parents Jacob SCHULTZ (b. 1861) and Anna “Annie” PEASLAND (b. 1867). Violet was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Violet M.; Elizer or Elijah; Stanley; Margaret; Gertrude; and Jennie SCHULTZ, all born between 1887 and 1899. Violet married Arthur FITTON (1877-1959) 20 Oct 1915 in Buffalo, NY and they had three children, Alfred FITTON (1917-1917); Walter Arthur FITTON (1926-2001) and a daughter. Violet died 5 Mar 1961 and is buried in the Elmlawn Cemetery in Tonawanda, NY.
I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me at your earliest convenience regarding this photograph and the family.
