Comments from Scott Thomas: Looks like Emma Kelsey Hartman
with one of her children (she had 3: Mary (Marie), William and

Hartman. That appears to be their house. Marie was the oldest so
the baby may be her.

Hartman
Comments by Robert Kelsey Thomas:
These Hartman's are different Hartman's than from who Emma married into.
Agnes Hartman worked at Charlie Keitzer's bank.
There were another family of Hartman's in town and they had 9 children
or more. (Roberta Kelsey knew Agnes, Gertrude & Winfred (the
youngest of them)).
Emma Keitzer Kelsey (sister to Arthur Kelsey) married Frank Hartman.
Their
children were Mary (Marie), William and Clemenitine (Teenie).
Comments by Charles Kelsey: Frank Hartman, Willaim Hartman and
Bert Hartman were brothers. Frank and William were Agnes'
uncles. Bert was Agnes' father.

Keitzer brothers with George Fowble (the tall one, their
future brother in law).
Wore a stiff detachable collar; they they just removed the collar
to wash it instead of the whole shirt.
1) Uncle Wilburt Keizter - far left - had curvature of the spine, was a
cripple. Was well liked, had a drug store in Hammond and married
Ellen. Aunt Ellen (as Roberta Kelsey calls her) had a gall
bladder
operation (supposed to be a simple operation) and she died during
it. This was during the war and Ruth Kelsey went to help him (Gay
Kleykamp was stationed nearby) . Had a dasughter - Rosemary - who
became a
nun.
2) Probably George Fowble - their future or new brother-in-law via
Mildred Keitzer.
3) Charlie Keitzer was born cross-eyed.
4) Robert Keitzer.
