I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as that of Ines BEALS or BEAL which was taken at the Ayres Studio in Eagle Grove, IA. The photograph was taken in the 1890's with Ines likely about 2-3 years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Ines and her family: Inez May BEAL was b. 6 May 1896 in Eagle Grove, IA to parents John Edward BEAL (1858-1921) and Minnie Belle BROEFFLE (1868-1941). Inez had two siblings, brothers Herman B. BEAL (1892-1900) and Phillip Victor BEAL (1898-1958). Inez appears to have married three times, husbands included John BRINZANIK or BURNZANIK (1880-1947) whom she married on 2 Feb 1916 in Wright, IA; David ROSS (1879-1958) who she married 16 Jul 1919 in Tama, IA listing her marital status as widowed though since John's death is identified to have occurred in 1947 I'm guessing she was divorced?; and Hurlburt Higley BELL (1895-1978). Inez had at least three children, Marabel A. BRINZANIK (1917-1998); Barbara Helen ROSS (1920-1981); and David W. ROSS (1925-1997). Inez died 11 Aug 1960 in Peoria, IL and is buried in the Swan Lake Memory Gardens in Peoria, IL. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Eagle Grove, IA: John E.
