    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of old photographs including two large group photographs from New Jersey which appear to have been taken in front of a hotel, restaurant, or resort. A sign hanging in front of the building appears to say "WAYMAN'S COTTAGE" with additional signs attached to the building saying "Boarding" and "Table Board". The people in the photographs are identified as follows: * Joe WIER * Helen WIER * Helen PIERCE * Charlie WIER (woman) * Clair KOBLER * Mr. WIER & Child * Mrs. WIER & Child * Miss Ethel GRIFFITH & Harrold KOBLER * Mrs. PIERCE & Beatrice KOBLER * Mrs. COOPER & Child from Brooklyn * Mr. C. P. KETTERER from NY * Miss Nellie RYSON * Miss Lottie PIERCE * Mrs. C. P. KETTERER * Mrs. S. P. KOBLER * Miss Jennie PIERCE * Miss Annie PIERCE There are two copies of this same photograph with the photograph appearing to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's. Subjects range in age from toddler to 50's. Four additional photographs appear to include some of these same people including: * Group of 5 women, no studio or loc, 1900's * Group of 14 people, no studio or loc, 1900's * Unidentified women in her 60's, no studio or loc, 1890's or 1900's * Unidentified woman in her 50's, no studio or loc, 1900's With limited research I was able to find information on WIER and KOBLER Families which may fit those in the photograph. That information follows: 1880 census of Neptune, NJ: Joseph R.

If you are a member of one of these families, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
