    1. BONTWELL Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Willard Benjamin BONTWELL which was taken at the Randall Studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The photograph was taken 1 Feb 1896 with Willard listed as 3 ½ years old at the time. Based on limited research I believe that Willard B. BONTWELL was born 1 Aug 1892 in Ann Arbor to parents B. J. & E. L. BONTWELL. I was able to locate the following in the 1900 census of Ann Arbor City with records indicating the following: Emily BONTWELL, age 35, born Jan 1865, divorced, 1 child/1 living, born MI, parents born NY, Willard BONTWELL, son, age 7, born Aug 1892, born MI, parents born IL/MI, at School I’m hoping to locate someone from this BONTWELL Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
