A studio photograph taken about 1900 of the Levi Umholtz family of Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
Levi Umholtz was born on August 30, 1853, in Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, the son of John Henry Umholtz (1834-1903) and Catherine [Kocher] Umholtz. He married Mary “Polly” Radel on October 3, 1875 and with her had at least 14 known children.
In 1880 the family was living in Lykens Township, Dauphin County, and in the 1900, 1910, and 1920 censuses, the family was living in Gratz. In the 1930 census the family was living in Elizabethville, Dauphin County. Levi died on November 25, 1933 in Elizabethville and is buried at Gratz Union Cemetery, Gratz.
Can any reader identify the children?
