Both lived in Centralia and were miners. They were born in Italy in 1870's and were brought to USA/Ill by an uncle. They married, had families and lived in Centralia. I have family information that say Joseph Lottie had or was a partner in a Photography studio in Centralia. I would love to find out documentation for the photo studio and any additional information about these 2 brothers and families. Louis Lotti/Lottie was my grandfather. Thanks in advance. Yvonne
