Photo Number 383

This is a beautiful photograph of a bride.  This photo was found behind another photo in a second hand shop.  Right now it belongs to Joan from North Carolina.  She would like to return it to relatives if possible.  The photographer was Colonel Theodore C. Marceau of 258 Fifth Avenue, New York.  He opened his studio on December 29 1901, it was said to be one of the finest and most perfectly appointed in the country. ( It must have been a fancy place.)

Updates from Iggy: 

Joseph G Vilsack was the President of the Aliquippa Steel Co., Pittsburgh.

"Joseph G Vilsack, second son in the family of Leopold Vilsack was born in Pittsburg and married Stella Brennen, a daughter of John Brennen and wife. By this union the issue was John Edward, Louise Marie, Dorothy Claire, Joseph G Jr, and Kenneth Frank."

Joseph G Vilsack's brother, Leopold W Vilsack was born in Pittsburgh February 6 1872. Mr Vilsack is a jeweler by trade and was in the jewelry business in Fifth Avenue, New York for 18 years starting in 1893. His early education was obtained at St Augustine's parochial school of Pittsburgh and in Holy Cross College. He then served an apprenticeship at his trade after which he went into business. He married Nellie M Vetter, daughter of John Vetter and wife on October 6, 1895. Their children are Leo (b. Jul 1896), Virginia (b. Feb 1898), Pauline, Mercedes (1903-2000) and Robert.

William J. Schofield Jr. (b. Feb 1898) and Pauline Vilsack married. Mercedes does not appear to have married.


Update: This evening Iggy located a name, address and phone number for a relative.  That information has been passed onto Joan so that she can contact the people since she has the photo.   I will update you as more information becomes available:)
