    1. [TXBEXAR] DRENKEL Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" two old photographs which I believe both belong to the DRENKEL Family of Colorado. The first is a photograph identified as Ethel Adela DRENKEL which was taken at the DRENKEL Studio in Aspen, CO. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Ethel likely about 4 years old at the time. The second photograph is unidentified but appears to be a boy, probably about 2 years old, also taken in the 1890's. Based on limited research I was able to locate some census information for the family: 1900 census of Aspen, CO: Mary E. DRENKEL, age 37, born Mar 1862, married 12 years, 2 children/2 living, born MO, parents born TN/KY, a Photographer Ethel D. DRENKEL, dau, age 8, born Oct 1891, born CO, parents born IL/MO, at School Daniel L. DRENKEL, son, age 4, born Jan 1896, born CO, parents born IL/MO 1910 census of San Antonio, TX: Mary E. DRENKEL, age 39, a widow, 2 children/1 living, born MO, parents born TN/KY, Keeper of Apt House Ethel A. DRENKEL, dau, age 18, born CO, parents born IL/MO I've also located information regarding a DRENKEL family member buried in the Red Butte Cemetery with a death date of 20 Apr 1903, so I'm guessing this could well be Mary's husband or son since she is both widowed and without her youngest child by 1910. I am hoping to locate someone from this DRENKEL Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
