Surnames: Brimmer, Shultis, Rose, Renskis, Carr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YCG.2ACIB/135 Message Board Post: I recently purchased a wonderful old studio photograph of “the SHULTIS family” from an antique dealer at a show in Sandwich, Illinois. I enjoy buying lovely old pictures like these in antique shops (pictures with names on the back and locations on the front) and locating descendants/family members so that I can re-unite the pictures, for only my costs, with the people who will treasure them. The picture was taken by the Harper Studio, in Reedsburg, Wisconsin (Sauk Co.), anywhere from about 1900-1915 (my estimate, based on the type of photo, etc.). The photo shows four women and four men, all in their 60’s to 80’s. The names on the back are: Aunt Betty ROSE Aunt Katty BRIMMER Aunt Agnes RENSKIS Aunt Malinda CARR Uncle Abe SHULTIS (Dad) Enoch SHULTIS Uncle Bill SHULTIS Uncle Jack SHULTIS This is a wonderful treasure that I just could not let it stay there; I am hoping that there are descendants out there who would want to have it. The ladies are all wearing dark high-necked dresses, and the men are all wearing suits and each of the men has a mustache. It looks as if the oldest man might be Bill, if that helps anyone. The picture itself is 8-1/2” wide x 4” high, mounted on a very heavy cardboard frame 13” wide and 8” high, as was typical during that time period. The picture is an original, in excellent condition. If you have Brimmer or Shultis family members from the Sauk Co., WI. area during this time frame, please Email me directly at margerice@prodigy.net.
