SIPPEL - SCHAEFFER Hello Denise, I was wondering if I could enter a mystery picture hoping somebody could identify the people in it. Since I can only identify my uncle Clarence Schaeffer in the first row, third from right, and my grandmother Clara Sippel Schaeffer, second row far right in the plaid dress, we wonder if it was taken at a church gathering, as there are no other relatives in the picture we know of. My grandmother attended both the Ebenezer Church and the Loraine Church, and lived near the Loraine church when this was taken, I am guessing about 1918 or 1919. So thank you if this is possible, Bette Rick http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.citymax.com/board/board_topic/23882/428397.htm
