She wrote: "These are photos of unidentified members of my family. The surnames include Tate, Stallings,Werly,Bonnell, and possibly Griffith and Proetz. One is of an infant named Harold O'Byrne ( I know there was family in Jerseyville with surname Byrne)".

My Tate line was: Benjamin Edward Tate b.10-22-1868 & wife Minnie May Griffith. He descended from David Tate (1730?) & Catherine Thornton of Va. I do not know who ancestors of Minnie May Griffith were. Benj & Minnie's daughter, Minnie Tate, m.Mr. Proetz in St.Louis. Their son, Benjamin Edward Tate Jr, m. Gladys Jessemyne Werly in 1900. Jesse Anne Stallings m.Christian Werly. They lived in St.Louis, as well as Canton, Mo. Jesse & her mother, Julia Frances Bonnell, also lived in St.Louis and Jerseyville,IL. I will appreciate any help in identification". [They are beautiful photos]. Cynthia Sizeler [email protected]

The back of the photo of the woman ( by (McCrary Studio, bottom right) has a handwritten note on back of the photo ( by (McCrary Studio) has a handwritten note is titled "Aunt Fannie's Family" Thus far, I do not have family members listed in El Dorado Springs,Mo. (is due east of Ft.Scott,Ks, and is in western Mo) I am guessing the man in Minneapolis photo is either Werly or possibly Bonnell family member.
	This picture was titled Harold O'Bryne

This picture was mailed from St.Louis by B.G.Proetz to my Tate relatives in the early 1950's. I am guessing the photo was taken 1870 or so? Surnames could be Proetz, Tate, Bonnell. I will appreciate any help. Thanks, Cynthia Sizeler [email protected]
