Unknown person sitting.

A man from Ottawa dated this picture for me using city directories, at 1869-1873 from the Photographer stamp, J.D. Wallis, on the back. He also said that if it is a CDV format it is probably from the earlier end of the time frame, if it is a cabinet card, probably from the latter end.

Pringle Sisters?

More Pringle Sisters?

Kids in Grand Rapids, I would think that they were Normans kids  (Ray B. 1882, Alfred B. 1886, Homer B. 1892, Manly B. 1898)

but I don’t know of any girls, maybe its Martha’s or Sarah Pringle’s daughter? (Lillian Eyer brn. May 1888), cousins?

Ella with her first daughter Iva Fern Brown about 1910? The back of the postcard picture say that it was taken at Du Val’s 10 minute Photo in Grand Rapids

 Even though some of these pictures do not have a photograph location on them I believe them to be Pringles mainly because of the way my Grandmother had them stored for the past 100 years, maybe a little family resemblance too.

Family Migrations:

The first of the family to immigrate to Michigan, is Norman as far as I know.
He moved to the Grand Rapids area, Sand Creek, Cedar Springs in 1870 I believe.
Martha Elvira married John Richens in Grand Rapids in 1878.
Charles is living with Martha and her husband in Grand Rapids in 1880
Sarah Eliza Married Daniel Eyer in 1883 in Grand Rapids, they moved on to Biwabik, Minn.
Myron Hubbard Married Hatie Clark in 1889 in Grand Rapids. In 1901 they are listed back in Ontario.
Almon Dorland, I believe to be “Derlin” whose autograph book I have from a visit to Cedar Springs, Michigan in 1888.

The 1891 census of Napanee, Ontario has Alfred with Sarah and 3 children, Wilbert, Dorland and Ella.
Both Alfred and Ella list their immigration as 1891 in the 1900 census in Grand Rapids.

Ella’s first daughter Iva Fern Brown was born 20 Sep 1894 and according to the 1900 census her and her father were born in Michigan.
Ella is listed as a widow in 1900.
In 1900 Ella married Claud Madison Dutcher in Grand Rapids, he would have just mustered out of the Spanish American War and may have been in the hospital there. He was from the Eaton County, Lansing area of Michigan.
