The Louis and Louisa Stuve Family

This is an old photo that was in the photo album.

  Here is the back of the photo.

I took the liberty of filling in some blanks,  it may or may not be accurate.  We know which little girls were Tracie and Anna.  

I can zoom in on it.

This is when it got interesting.   It seems that there is a cross in the front yard…did you notice it?  Perhaps a favorite old dog died.

I will guess that this photo was taken right around 1900.  Tracie would have been five years old that year.  Everyone fits the approximate age..we are short one young gal..either Martha or Matilda and long one man who could be Frank or George Rogers and a small child  who could be a Rogers child.
