Hi Carol, My wife was doing some cleaning before Christmas and she ran across some things from moms home. We have an old picture with no name on it. I think that it may be a Hayden or Kaltenbacher. I think she got it from Grandma Hayden. I wish I had asked mom about it when she was alive.I cleaned it up this morning and I am going to take it to your mom and see if she knows any info. about it. If she knows some info. about it I can e-mail it to you if it fits in your geneology project.
Do you have a copy of the picture where John Kaltenbacher was born? I do if you want a copy. Let me know. I am not sure where the original is. I remember seeing it at mom's house and I may have copied it when she was alive. I ran across your geneology site today. The update is that Mark -ours son and family are moving to International Falls MN. Hope you are doing well, Your first cousin, Jerry

I went to visit your mother on Thursday and took the old picture that I got from Louise Hauke. She had no idea who it was. Margie was there also and she had not clue. I took the back off of the picture and discovered this information that is in bold print and underlined:

Found on the back of the old picture from mom's house

- oval frame $21.00 -I assume this to be the cost of the picture, frame and glass
- 409 black 200 - may be info. about the kind of picture it is. I think I am going to Google this info. and see what I get
Mrs. Hayden - address in Evansville. Your mother said her grandmother lived down the street from her. Grandma Hayden lived at 605 Illinois 304 Illinois 2-6-00 - may be a delivery date of the picture??? 2-6-1900 12-23 - may be the date the picture was taken???? 12-23-1899

I removed the picture from the frame and took some pictures of it with a digital camera. I will place the picture, along with the notes in my genealogy folder. Your mother said she vagely remembers her grandmother- Louisa Valia (Powell) Hayden I have attached two pictures of the picture. I thought you may be interested. Any thoughts? Jerry
