Edna Barbara Kirmse

Story

This large oval glassed infant portrait has been hanging on a bedroom wall of Donna (Kirmse) Martin for many years as an unidentified infant.  Since the picture frame matched two other oval glassed portraits (of Henry Cordes and Margaretha (Meier) Cordes), the infant was thought to likely be a family member.  While digitizing portraits shared by Judy (Kirmse) Yordi, it was realized that this portrait is a crop of the portrait of Enda and Julius Kirmse

Edna Barbara Kirmse was born on February 5, 1908, in Ellis County, Oklahoma. She died as a child on July 10, 1909, in Ellis County, Oklahoma, and was buried in Alva, Oklahoma.

Date

Circa 1908

Location

Goodwin, Oklahoma - possibly taken at Shattuck, Oklahoma.
