I rescue old photos that have identification on them. I'm holding one of a girl who is graduating from 8th grade. She is identified as M.V. Prashil.

In the 1900 census, there's a little girl named Mary Prashil who is 8 years old, but then doesn't show up in a later Michigan census. Also in the same census, is a little girl-2 years old, named, Maricie, daughter of Charles & Anna. In 1910, she's shown as Mamie. My best guess is this girl is Mamie and she's in the photo.

She's in white and the dress is tea length. She's holding flowers and her diploma is on the stand next to her. Eighth grade would make her about 13 years old. It was taken by Smith & Price of Traverse City.

Charles, is listed as being from Austria, others with the same name, Bohemia. The rest were born in Michigan.

My goal is to get this into the hands of family or a serious researcher. For details on how to obtain it, contact me at: digginroots@yahoo.com
