What's Your Name?


What I know:
This photograph came from the Pat Sides Jennings collection, so it is likely a Mariencheck or Durling ancestor. It was taken at Genelli Studios in St. Louis, Missouri, which was open from about 1894 to 1900. The same studio was featured in a post on May 29, 2013; it's even possible this is from the same sitting.

So we arrive at a similar proposition: Is this Louisa Mariencheck Schmidt? Louisa was born in September of 1858 to Philip and Sophia Mariencheck. That would put her at age 36-42 for the Genelli Studios timeframe, which seems to fit. Also, in 1888, Louisa married Adam Schmidt and they soon moved to St. Louis, Missouri.


Do you know who this is?
