Every so often, we’re going to post the image (and available information) of a person, place, or thing\u00a0 about which we would like to know more.\u00a0 We would like to invite you to take a good look, and if you have any information, to please share in the comments or through our website<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 If the information is confirmed, we will do a follow up post and award you permanent bragging rights to your excellent sleuthing skills.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is a little-known, yet\u00a0exciting historical\u00a0fact that\u00a0the Hostetler Photography Studios—from which the majority of our glass negatives originate—made house calls.<\/p>\n

The studio, known for its portraiture, also photographed weddings, funerals, family reunions, and all manner of events inside people’s homes,<\/em> providing glimpses of everyday life that even the most expensive backdrops can’t.<\/p>\n

These on-site images can also provide clues to identifying the people photographed.<\/p>\n

We hope.<\/p>\n

In our collections are three wedding images labeled “Mrs. Millie Berger.” Two are of a mature bride and groom in what is presumably someone’s parlor or front room:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other is of the reception and shows the wedding party and family—and a\u00a0yummy-looking cake—in what was probably the dining room:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As far as we have been able to determine, the photographs were taken in 1913, but so far we have not been\u00a0able\u00a0to locate any further information.\u00a0 We’re not even sure if Millie is the bride, the bride’s mother, or perhaps a member of the groom’s family.<\/p>\n

If you recognize anyone in the wedding party or\u00a0think you know\u00a0where this house might\u00a0be located, please let us know!<\/p>\n
