| Here are various pictures of our Fetterman family.
More will be added and please have patience while they all load. |

| Above, an undated photo of Lafayette Fetterman.
My question is: Was he selling the stallion or just showing him off? Maybe
putting him out for stud? |
|
|
| Here is a picture taken of Alta, Marie, Russell,
aunt Kate Fetterman Lindemuth, and their grandparents Lafayette and Anna
Moaria Fetterman in front of their home in Centralia. Lafayette and Anna
Moaria were married December 26, 1861, in Numidia, PA, and bought their
home in Centralia on April 19, 1866. They were the parents of Allen Ellsworth,
Hannah Bessie, Catherine Ann, William Clinton, and Charles Oscar. Lafayette
was a veteran of the Civil War and was pensioned as an invalid in 1892.
This picture was taken around 1910. Lafayette and Anna Moaria are buried
in the St. Paul's Lutheran/Reformed German Union Cemetery in Numidia, PA. |

To the right is Marie's mother, Jennie. This is an undated photo and
a wild guess would be that it was taken at the time of her graduation.
The picture below is one of Marie's parents, Charles Oscar and Jennie
Fetterman and five of their 12 children. Standing on the bench is Adda
Toleatha Fetterman, but we are unsure as to the identities of the boys.
Standing to the rear is Charles' sister Catherine Ann Fetterman. Charles
Oscar and Jennie are also buried in the St. Paul's Lutheran/Reformed German
Union Cemetery in Numidia, PA.

As Russell was a baby when this photo was taken, I would
judge Marie to be at least ten in this picture and probably closer to
eleven.
The kids were born as follows:
Marie Catherine Fetterman - June 18, 1898
Jennie Alta Fetterman - March 17, 1900
Lafayette Ressler Fetterman, August 19, 1901
Charles Oscar Fetterman - January 25, 1903
Ada Toleatha Fetterman - November 3, 1905
Russell Alton Fetterman - May 8, 1908

| Jennie died of injuries she received in a car accident on March 10, 1967,
when Great Uncle Charles was hit by a car that ran a stop sign at 7th &
Chew Streets in Allentown. |
Mary Jane went to visit Lafayette and Dorothy in Canton, OH. |

|
|
| Such handsome boys in this picture! |
Charles and Josephine had no children. This picture was taken
in Centralia. |

|
Toleatha (November 3, 1905 - September 6, 1964) as a young
child. It is obvious that their grandmother loved bows!
|
This is another photo of Marie which was taken at her
high school graduation. How pretty she was as a young woman!
|
|
|
|
| Above is Toleatha when she served in the WACS during World
War II. |
|
Here is another picture of Toleatha. They say that she acted in a picture
with Fatty Arbuckle and Lillian Geish. I am trying to confirm this.
She was quite pretty and died way too young. She was married to William
Thomas when she died, and she is buried in the St. Paul's United Church
of Christ Cemetery close to her parents.

| Above, Great Aunt Kloma as a baby. At 91 years now, she is still active
and likes to visit the casinos close to her. |
Kloma's daughter Alverta. She and Aunt Kloma live together
in Arizona. |

|
|
| Russell and Blanche and a copy of their marriage certificate.
They went to Elkton, Maryland, to marry and they settled in Dundalk, Maryland,
where they raised their family. There is documentation where Fettermans
and Yeagers are married throughout several generations. |
|
|
|
| Blanche and Russell's daughter, Lois Elaine, who fought and lost her battle
with breast cancer at the very young age of 47. I found her name listed
at the Breast Cancer Wall
of Courage, where someone had lit a candle in her memory. |
Above is a graduation photo of Bill Fetterman, son of Blanche and Russell
Fetterman. |
|
|
|
| It looks as though all of our boys went into the Navy during the war. |
Above is an undated photo of Marie's brother John Willian and his wife
Sarah Henderson. |
|
|
|
| Above is an undated picture of Jennie with her youngest son, Carl, and
granddaughter Alverta Wesner. Jennie was 44 when Carl was born in 1925,
so she must have been close to 60 when this picture was taken. |
High school photo of Carl Grant Fetterman. Carl previously lived in Baltimore,
MD, before relocating to Arizona. |
 |
|
| Above is a photo of Marie with her daughter Mary Jane
on a visit out west. They were visiting the Ressler relations. The Fettermans
and Resslers are intermarried among generations. |
The story of Aunt Kate is that she married late in life, and her husband
Grant died suddenly. She was so despondent over his death that she jumped
in the well and broke her neck. Her nephew Jimmy had to bring her out. |
|
|
|
| Aunt Betsy with her first husband Carl. He passed away September 21, 1966,
at the age of 48. They lived in Canton, Ohio, at the time. |
Aunt Betsy with second husband Clarence where they lived in Scottsdale,
AZ. She was still a pretty lady in her later years. Betsy passed away in
December 1980. |

children in Canton, Ohio. Today they live in St. Petersburg, FL.
|
Above, a picture of Carl Grant and James Orsen Fetterman with unidentified
friend in the rear. What a car! |

| Above, Jimmy and his wife Virgil the year after they were married. |
Jimmy and Virgil's children. Thanks so much for sending these pictures
Jim! |

Carl and Ann with Jimmy's daughter Phyllis in Canton,
Ohio, before they relocated to Baltimore. |

|
| The above picture is an undated photo that
obviously has a Fetterman or two in it. I am thinking that maybe it is the
girl who is fourth from the left in the front or the middle girl in the
back row standing next to the teacher. The girls were all blondes as children
and Great Granny Fetterman loved them with bows in their hair. What do you
think? |
