Hi Doris, I'm not related but I have an 1895 photo of a "Phebe SHEFFLER" on my web site: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bgilson/canton,_illinois.htm All of the photos on this page relate to Fulton County, IL and have come to me through my great grandparents, James and Florence (JOHNSTON) IZATT. I'm only guessing but I think the folks in these photos were likely friends of James.
