    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Earl Leonard WHITAKER which was taken at the Edgerton & Craig Studio in Fremont, Nebraska. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Earl noted as just 3 1/2 months old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Earl and his family: Earl L. WHITAKER was b. 8 Jun 1904 in Fremont, NE to parents Albert WHITAKER and Grace G. COOK. Earl died in Fremont, NE on 21 May 1959 and is buried there in the Ridge Cemetery. Census records provide the following detail: 1910 census of Fremont, NE: Albert WHITAKER, age 32, married 9 years, 2 children/2 living, born IA, parents born NY, a Mason Contractor Grace WHITAKER, wife, age 28, married 9 years, 2 children/2 living, born IA, parents born IA Viola WHITAKER, dau, age 7, born NE Earl WHITAKER, son, age 5, born NE Eva COOK, sister-in-law, age 22, born IA, parents born IA, a Telephone Operator 1920 census of Fremont/Platte, NE: Albert WHITAKER, age 42, born IA, parents born NY, a Mason Grace WHITAKER, wife, age 37, born IA, parents born IA, a Housewife Viola WHITAKER, dau, age 17, born NE, in School Earle WHITAKER, son, age 15, born NE, in School Glen WHITAKER, son, age 8, born NE, in School Twila Grace WHITAKER, dau, age 5, born NE, in School Alberta WHITAKER, dau, age 2, born NE I am hoping that someone from the family can be located so that the photograph can be returned to their care.
