Yesterday, I came across the record that solved the identity of this missing child, another son. The record was a photo of Mary's husband's headstone, Reinhard Kaechle. There, on the bottom of the stone, it lists the name of another deceased. The deceased is Reinhard and Mary's 3 1/2 year old son, Edmund.

I had found and saved this photo about 5 weeks ago, and I don't know why I hadn't look closer at the inscription. Sometimes, we need to slow down and really look at each document, and photo, we find. Otherwise, we are likely to overlook something important: perhaps even a missing child.
Do we share common ancestors? I'd love to talk! Please leave a comment and/or email me at drleeds@sbcglobal.net
I see how you could easily overlook this, the lettering is small and seems at first glance insignificant. Nice catch !
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was definitely a great reminder to me to pay more attention to the records I already have!
DeleteIsn't it interesting, how often we overlook things? I only recently discovered those columns in the census, and it led me to the fact that my grandfather was one of 12, though only 9 survived. Good reminder!
