An undated photograph of the Levi Umholtz extended family of Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
Other than Levi Umboltz (front center,seated) and his wife, Anna Maria “Polly” [Radel] Umholtz (front center, seated), none of the persons in the photo are specifically identified. The location is also not identified, although it is believed it is somewhere in Gratz.
Levi Umholtz was born on 30 August 1853, in Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, the son of John Henry Umholtz (1834-1903) and Catherine [Kocher] Umholtz. He married Polly Radel on 3 October 1875 and with her had at least 14 known children. Levi died on 25 November 1933 and is buried at Gratz Union Cemetery, Gratz.
It is presumed that the adults standing behind Levi and Polly are their children and spouses, although none are specifically identified, and the children pictured are their grandchildren.
