Today's picture comes to you from Katie Martin. She was nice enough to share a bunch of pictures with me over the last two summers when she and her husband came to visit. This is one of them. The man is Jacob Washa. He died in 1897 at the ripe old age of 26. He would have been 139 today.
Timeframe: The one copy of this was slightly blurred but it was taken by Windisch of Oak Harbor. This is a "Windisch, F" that operated in Locust Point, Ohio in 1896 & 1897. I am going to assume that is about the same time frame as this picture simply because of his age and the short length of his life.
Where He Fits: Jacob Washa is the son Joseph Washa & Mary Moeureau. Jacob is the brother of Sally, Monica Soncrant, Hubert, Rosalia Moesing, Helen, Mary Leutz, Ellen Kelley, Josephine Crosby Davenport and Elizabeth Allen. That makes Jacob the uncle of Oscar, Myrtle, Lorenz, Leon & Berlin Leutz.
