I found this image in an envelope addressed to "Mrs. Merle Leutz, R. R. Oak Harbor, Ohio". There is a 4 cent stamp and a post mark from Genoa, Ohio, 11 a.m. on December 14, 1963. There is no return address so who sent this envelope of photographs is beyond me. On the back it says "Viola Short" and this is the only image in the envelope that has been completely identified/labeled.
Timeframe: Viola was born in 1894 (and would be 116 this month). She looks to be about 16 or so in this image so I am guessing about 1910.
Where It Fits: Merle Fritsche is the wife of Leon Leutz and mother of Mary Cary Rudes, Robert & A.J. Leutz.
Viola Short is the daughter of Chalion Short & Mary DeWitz. Her youngest brother, Alvin, is my step great-grandfather. He was the second husband of Velma Taylor-Johannsen.
