So glad to hear from you. I have an Ellen Elisabeth Opitz who married JOSEPH SMITH DEAN Mercer County. Their children ORLO DEAN, BESSIE DEAN, PAUL DEAN (died at 9 yrs), CHARLES DEAN (died at 4 yrs), KENNETH DEAN (died at 1 wk). ORLO DEAN married Florence Rupert. Ellen Elisabeth Opitz was born January 30, 1871, father HENRY OPITZ. I have a copy of an old photograph of ORLO DEAN. Does any of this match? Jane
