	These are some unknown photos that were in my grandparents pictures. As they lived for a number of years in the Bowling Green area I thought maybe you might have a use for them. I have more with no names and some with names on them if you would like them also let me know and I will scan and send. My grandparents were William Francis ORF and Ida Elizabeth KRAMER . I would think the people in the photos will link some way. Lola Orf Johnston *Rec'd 5/5/2004:* your who is it photos--a group of 9---the top right man looks like my grandad although he never had that much hair when i knew him he was born in bowling green april 1880 his first wife died in 1918 and in 1920 he married my grandmother in mexico mo sometime before 1918 he lived in auxvasse but his brother g. alvy martin got married on the home farm near bowling green in oct 1898 his fathers name was theodore (theadore) f martin who married a nancy jane jones (9-15-1851 to nov 6-1925) i have no info as yet on theo the photo could also be of theo or theos brother if he had one???? i have come back and looked at this photo several times and the family resemblence just jumps out sandy swanson *Rec'd Feb 15, 2013:* the man in the upper right is definitely Anton Ruether 1831-1905. His first wife was widow of Eberhard Albers, born Brockmeier (various spellings). His second wife was a Barlage (Bernardina). His third wife was the lady in the center, Johanna nee Dickhaus. Her first husband was Wilhelm Schecter (Schacter; Schaecter); her second husband was Franz Krekel (brother to Arnold of Civil War notoriety). Anton and Johanna donated the bell of St Vincent’s Church at Dutzow for their 25th wedding anniversary. Johanna’s brother, Herman, had two wives. The first, Agnes Macke, bore him two daughters Fredricka and Johanna. Fredricka married Heinrich Hustedde. I think they are both buried at St Clements. Her tombstone obviously is hard to read but I translate it as “Dickhaus belonging to Hustedde”. Johanna married Wilhelm Kramer who also lived in Pike County around Ashley. Kramer is listed as a widower in the 1900 census, but I don’t know where she is buried. Their daughter Ida Elizabeth, apparently married Wm F. Orf and they moved to Oklahoma, Wilhelm going with them. Anton Ruether was stepfather to Katy Albers who married Frank Hustedde who also shows up living near Fredricka and Johanna in Pike County. The online plat book of Pike County around 1900 shows Hustedde land holdings around Ashley and St Clements. A daughter of Anton Ruether, by his second marriage to Bernardina Barlage , married a third Hustedde brother William, who also had Pike County land interests. Eventually William and Frances moved to southeast Missouri around Glennonville . --Carroll Struckhoff
BELOW: Attached are some pictures from an old scrapbook that belonged to Thad Mantiply and his wife Sallie (Fisher) Mantiply. Both were from Pike County, but moved to Bunkie, Louisiana around 1918. Thad was my great grand uncle….he passed away in 1960. Sallie’s sister, Hattie, married Robert L. Fishback. I have more pics as well as newspaper clippings from Pike County. I hope someone will recognize them or at least help with their research. It appears some pics were likely sent to Thad by friends in Pike County or taken during visits there. Some last names include Fishback, Tate, Fields, and Noah. Overall condition of the pics is poor. They are VERY fragile. Marshall Mantiply
	<---“scan 10” is unknown female.
	<---someone wrote “Kathy” and “Oct II” on the picture. I believe this is possibly Celestial Kathleen Tate.
	<---“scan 13” has an inscription on the back “Parties at wedding 50 yrs ago”. UPDATE 14 February 2012: I believe that the gentleman in the photo marked: “scan 13” has an inscription on the back “Parties at wedding 50 yrs ago” may very well be Robert Fishback. Please bear in mind that I am only going by memory of more than 50 years ago. I spent many hours as a child, playing checkers with "Mr. Robert" just before he died in St. Louis. I can only assume that the lady seated next to him is Hattie (his wife) because there is a strong family resemblance between her and her daughter, Pauline Cash, wife of Wirt M. Cash. Hattie died before I knew them. But she strongly resembles a picture I used to see on the Cash's television in the early to mid 50's. I hope this helps. Tom J. AND 5 February 2012, also from Tom J.: I have since received clarification from my brother and my sister that the gentleman is, in fact, Robert Fishback. We can only continue with the assumption that the lady is Hattie, as she died prior to our knowing "Mr. Robert" and the Cashes.
	<---“scan 14” is two unknown women.
	Per contributor John Baker, Jr.: Could be a Baker or a Hoskins.

Thad was my great grand uncle….he passed away in 1960. Sallie’s sister, Hattie, married Robert L. Fishback. I have more pics that I hope to send soon. I hope someone will recognize them or at least help with their research. I would love to hear from anyone that can identify those in the pics I’ve sent (I saw it posted in the recent update online). It appears some pics were likely sent to Thad by friends in Pike County or taken during visits there. There is a chance some might be from Lincoln County also…I’m just not sure. Overall condition of the pics is poor. They are VERY fragile. Any feedback about the pics would be most appreciated since I don’t recognize most of the people in the photos. thanks Marshall Mantiply
	<---“scan 1” is an unknown group of women. Back of the picture was written “Sallie Mantiply”. Good chance these are related to the Fisher/Fishback families. Unfortunately the picture is starting to fade really bad.
	<---“scan 3” and “scan 4” appear to be related. Scan 3 has “St Louis ‘37” written on the front of it (1937). Scan 4 appears to have two of the same ladies from Scan 3 in it along with an unidentified man, likely taken at the same place/time as Scan 3.

	<---“scan 5” The back of the pic is written “7-8-38”. All individuals are unidentified.
	<---“scan 1” is a wedding photo. Written on the picture is “Married May 31, 1940” and “Mr +Mrs Jesee Wheatley, Wayne (???)”. The writing on the bottom of the picture is hard to read. Unfortunately, the picture is also starting to fade really bad.
	<---“scan 5” is a group of older women sitting in from of a building. Written on the back is “7-8-38”. None of the individuals are identified. This picture, however, is tied to one I sent in my most recent email as “scan 5”, which showed the same women sitting with some men at the same location.
	<---“scan 9” is of two men and a boy. Written on the back of the picture is “Rec’d Aug 5 1939 Mason + son Hiram These pictures are all I have so may return them just any time”. Apparently Thad opted to keep the picture.
	<---“scan 12” is from the same time as “scan 15”. Back of the picture is “Russell Noah on scooter + Ted Fishback – (???) son”. The ??? looks like “Rendrus”, but I can’t tell for sure.
	<---“scan 15” is a man on an old scooter. The back of the picture is written “Russell Noah” Received 9 July 2012: Hi, you probably already have this information, but the picture of Russell Noah. He was my uncle and was married to Wilma "Sue" Ince. daughter of Frank and Martha Ince. My dad is Don Ince and this was his brother-in-law. Russell and Sue's daughter Jane lives in Eminence, MO. Thanks Connie Ince Godsil
	<---“scan 13” is a baby holding a doll. The front of the picture is written “Celestial Kathleen Tate”. The back of the pic is written “Mr + Mrs Thad Mantiply 10-2-44 My first birthday! You will always remember Rock the Baby! Love Kathy”.
