Edwin and Hattie Wrightstone Photo Introduction

All photos came from my grandmother, Irene Wrightstone-Klinger, and her Wrightstone nieces.

Also, not all of the Wrightstone photo collection can be displayed on this web page. You can go to another web page with more photos, and the entire Wrightstone photo directory.

-- My Sollenberger ~ Diller ~ Bentz photo collection is also to large to fit on this page. So go to their web page photo collection.

-- Also, here are the Arnold photo directory, the Sollenberger photo directory, the Diller photo directory, and the Bentz photo directory.

-- There are also photos of people we can't identify located here.

Edwin and Hattie Wrightstone Photos

-- Besides the photos from the children's families. The Wrightstone always had family reunions.

Edwin was born August 20^th1874, and died August 21^st1957. He married Hattie Amelia Arnold.

I still remember going to the Wrightstone annual reunions. What a large, and fun, family. I still have conatct with my mother's cousins. Who are close to my age, but are my 2^nd cousins.

Edwin and Hatie had fifteen children, but three died during the birthing process.

i. Earl Diller Wrightstone died in 1908, at 3 years, 11 months, and 23 days old.

EUW (00B) Edwin and Hattie Wrightstone’s wedding portrait certificate; Hattie’s grandmother Mary Ann Sollenberger, and her aunt Julia Ann Sollenberger where at the wedding. Mary Ann’s brother Simon Diller, who was a local minister.

EUW (01) Edwin Wrightstone circa 1902, most likely taken for the portrait certificate.

EUW (02) Hattie Arnold-Wrightstone circa 1902, most likely taken for the portrait certificate.

EUW (02C) Written on the back: Hattie and Susie Hertzler. EUW (02F) is a photo of Susan, who was born in 1870 to Christian B. and Susanna (Zimmerman) Hertzler. She 1^st married John M. Sollenberger.

EUW (03) This is a photo taken about 1912 of the Clear Springs Blacksmith Shop owned and operated by George Hull. The Hull families were friends of the Wrightstone’s, and later Ralph Hull and the Graham family were associated with the Williams Grove Steam Engine Association. EUW (03C) is what was written on the back of the photo.

EUW (03E) Written on the back of the photo, Earl. Earl Diller Wrightstone was born in 1903, the first born child to Edwin and Hattie Wrightstone. This photo was taken by Walter Beck of Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania. It was found in three family collections.

EUW (04AA) This is a close up of the original photo. Irene Wrightstone standing next to her brother Paul Wrightstone; this is the earliest known photograph of Irene and Paul, circa. 1908.

EUW (05A) Mabel holding Jim; the twins Raymond on the left and Ralph on the right; Clyde standing inside behind the screen door; circa 1921; The Wrightstone's were living on a farm on 26^th street R.D.#1 Camp Hill Pennsylvania.

EUW (06A) Written on the back of Photo: Farm of 1920 and 1921: That would be the farm located on 21^st street R.D. #1 Camp Hill PA or the farm on the Carlisle Pike, Hampden Township. The photo is of a group of girls.

-- Front Row Left to Right: Unknown girl; Unknown girl; Unknown girl; Mabel Wrightstone.

-- Middle Row Left to Right: Unknown girl; Unknown girl; Unknown girl; Ruth Wrightstone.

-- Back Row Left to Right: Unknown older girl; Evelyn Burgard, who is the daughter of Gertie Bentz-Burgard, and an Unknown girl behind Mabel; The flag is flying in the back ground, and this could be a family gathering about 1918.

-- Evelyn Burgard is the daughter of Gertie Bentz-Burgard; Evelyn would be 15 years old in 1920. I suspect Gertie's other children are also in the photo; Clair who would be 13 years old, and Robert Lee who would be 8 years old. See TB (07D) and EUW (07A).

-- Also if Gertie is there, then her sister may also be there. Laura married Josepeh Smith and their two daughters mat be in the photo: Iva would be about 16 yeras old, and Romain would be about 12 years old.

-- Nettie Bentz-Firestone's daughter, Gertrude may also be in the photo. She would be about 8 years old.

-- Gertie, Laura, and Nettie would be Hattie Wrightstone's half sisters. Given this lead, then the other children could be Nettie Bentz-Firestone's daughter Gertrude. Nettie is Hattie's half sister. Margaret Bentz is Hattie's other half sister. The four older boys could be Albert Bentz's son Clair, or maybe Sollenberger family members.

Written on the front of the 1950 (07) photo, was 1950. Hattie died October 1950, which makes this about the last photo taken of her.

I then found other photos where people wore the same cloths.

Photo 1950 (08) was put in this group by estimating how old Sue Wrightstone was.
