WW1 Veteran?

Again this unlabeled photo was found among others from the Stricker and Lasso families but I'm not able to identify the person.

The Spurrells

This is a photo of Forrest and Ella Spurrell.

They are both deceased and located n Hamilton, Ontario.

I don't have any idea what the link is to the Stricker or Lasso family since I found this photo among other family photos.

The name Spurrell is common in Newfoundland.

Any ideas?

216 Wellington St., Kitchener (Berlin)

Two photos of 216 Wellington St., in Kitchener or the former Berlin. I am guessing that a Stricker lived here but am unsure. Hopefully I can do a title search at the land registry office and find out some details. if you know or think you know, please share.

Philip & Amanda Stricker - Early Years

Well it looks like one of the mysteries was solved as I am quite confident that the man in both photographs is Philip Stricker and the woman on the inside of each photo is Amanda Reichert (Philip's wife). These photos must be from the 1870's as both were born in 1851 and marriages usually occurred in one's twenties.

The woman to Philip's right in the photo of three people is unknown - perhaps a sister of him or Amanda.

Stricker/Lasso Children?

The girl on the far right is Lillian Stricker (daughter of Albert Stricker - Philip's son). I think that the boy to her right may be Harold Lasso and the boy sitting down on the far right may be Perlous Lasso.

The rest may be other children from school, church or the neighbourhood.

Are you able to identify any others?

Stricker House in Bridgeport?

This is most likely Philip Stricker's house. To the best of my father's memory, it is near Bridge Street east and Bloomingdale Road in Kitchener or the former Bridgeport, Ontario.

I can't find any homes in the area that have a similar shape but many seem to have been torn down to build warehouses and the like.

Do you have any photos of visits to relatives that show the house or others. I will eventually do a land search but I haven't had the time as of yet.

I can see Philip with his horse and dog out front. Ella Stricker is in front of the fence. It looks like Albert is holdng a child which could be his first born, Lillian and perhaps his wife Adeline Schafer is on the other side of Ella. It looks like Amanda Reichert is sittin gon the porch to the right and perhaps Laura Stricker (Lasso) is sitting on the left. Laura's husband William Lasso build a house at 28 Bloomingdale Road which should be rather close to this house if it's where I think.

Stricker Ladies?

Anyone up for some guesses?
