I've "rescued" an old photograph of Philip DECKER and his wife which was taken at the Hubley Studio in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the couple appearing to be in their 20's or 30's at the time. Based on limited research I believe that this may be the same Philip DECKER who was living with the WIRTH Family in West Lampeter, PA during the 1880 census. Records indicated the following: Paul WIRTH, age 81, born in Germany, a Farmer Maria WIRTH, wife, age 78, born in Germany Anna WIRTH, dau, age 38, born in PA Philip DECKER, age 20, born in PA, A Farm Laborer In the 1900 census of Strasburg, PA I find Philip DECKER and his family with records indicating the following: Philip DECKER, age 44, born Mar 1856, married 14 years, born in PA to German born parents, a Farmer Harret E. DECKER, wife, age 43, born July 1856, married 14 years, 5 children/4 living, born in PA to PA born parents Ralph M. DECKER, son, age 13, born Nov 1886, born in PA, at school Mabel DECKER, dau, age 11, born Mar 1889, born in PA, at school Edna DECKER, dau, age 8, born Nov 1891, born in PA, at school Anna B. DECKER, dau, age 1, born Nov 1898, born in PA In the 1910 census of Strasburg, PA the family remains with records indicating the following: Philip DECKER, age 54, married 24 years, born in PA to German born parents, a General Farmer Harriet DECKER, wife, age 53, married 24 years, 5 children/4 living, born in PA to PA born parents Ralph DECKER, son, age 23, born in PA, Laborer Mabel DECKER, dau, age 21, born in PA, Shirt factory seamstress Edna DECKER, dau, age 18, born in PA, telephone exchange office Anna DECKER, dau, age 11, born in PA In addition to this photograph I've also recovered photographs belonging to the MCCLEARY, BURKHOLDER, KREIDER, WEAVER, STOUTZENBERGER, and ECKMAN Families, all from the same source. I am not sure of what the connections might be, however, the handwritten notations on all the photographs were made by the same person so I'm sure they are connected in some manner. I am hoping to locate someone from this DECKER Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
