SAUNDERS - WALKER Family Photograph
|
I've recovered an old photograph of Isabel SAUNDERS which
was taken at the Arthur & Philbric Studio in Grand Rapids, MI.? The photograph is dated 19 Feb 1890 with
Isabel appearing to be in her 20's at the time the photograph was taken.? Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Isabel and her family:
?
Isabel ¡°Bell¡± or ¡°Belle¡± G. SAUNDERS was b. 10 Sept 1869 in
Battle Creek, MI to parents Dr. William G. SAUNDERS (1827-1903) and Mary Ann
PACKER or PARKER (1832-1873) who were married 10 Feb 1853.? Isabel was one of 9 children born to this
couple including Eva; William ¡°Willie¡± D.; Rena Louise; Lewis; Mary Elizabeth;
Thomas P.; Anna M.; Isabel G.; and Loretta P. SAUNDERS, all born between 1855
and 1873.? After her mother died, her
father married Sarah Ann BENEDICT and two more children were born, Louis Benedict
SAUNDERS (1877-1932 or 1937) and Travis P. SAUNDERS (b. 1878).?
?
Isabel married John Anthony WALKER MD (1869-1941) on 3 May
1905 in Great Falls, MT and they had two daughters, Mary E. WALKER (1909-1913)
and Dorothy Ann or Anne WALKER (b. 1911).?
Isabel died 5 Aug 1942 in Tacoma, WA and is buried in the Tacoma
Mausoleum in Tacoma, WA.
?
I am hoping to locate someone from Isabel¡¯s family so that
the photograph can be returned to their care.?
If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please
contact me.
?
Thanks,
Shelley
