    1. [CALOSANG] MURWEIS Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of 5 photographs belonging to the MURWEIS Family of New Jersey. The photographs include: Katie MURWEIS, taken at the Perkinson Studio in Newark, NJ, 1890's in her teens, note "Grandma's sister's daughter" Clara MURWEIS, taken at the Perkinson Studio in Newark, NJ, 1890's in her teens, note "Grandma's sister's daughter" Mrs. MURWEIS, taken at the Ludwig Schill Studio in Newark, NJ, 1900's, woman in her 50's or 60's, note "Grandma OBERLI Sister" MURVEIS (no first name) taken at the Ludwig Schill Studio in Newark, NJ, 1900's, girl in her teens MURVEIS (no first name) taken at the Ludwig Schill Studio in Newark, NJ, 1900's, man in his 60's Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Linda Katherine "Katie" MURWEIS was born in 1892 in New Jersey and died in 1973 in Los Angeles, CA and is buried in the Grand View Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, CA. Her sister Clara L. MURWEIS was b. 1894 and died in 1960 in Los Angeles, CA and is buried in the same cemetery as her sister in Glendale, CA. Their Mother, Hattie SZYMANOW MURWEIS was b. 1867 and died in 1927 in Los Angeles, CA and is buried in the same cemetery as her daughters. Their father was George P. MURWEIS b. 1864 in New Jersey, he married Hattie SCYMAROWITZ or SZYMANOW (1867-1927) and together they had 5 children including, Linda Katherine "Katie"; Clara Louise; George William; Hattie E.; and Elsie M. MURWEIS, all born between 1892 and 1906. I am guessing that in addition to photographs of the parents the other photograph identified only as "MURWEIS" of the teenage girl is either sister Hattie E. MURWEIS or Elsie M. MURWEIS.
