Vintage, found photo postcard of an older gentleman identified as Henry Wysong.
Written on back of AZO Photo Postcard:
Henry Wysong
Age 82 (or 92?) March 13 1919
Rev. Henry Wysong
Charles Wysong father
Cleo’s grandfather
So on ancestry.com I found:
Henry Calvin Wysong was born on December 19, 1870, in Nappanee, Indiana to Rev. Daniel Wysong and his mother, Mary Alice Miller Wysong. He married Malinda Mae Stahly on July 10, 1890, in Goshen, Indiana. They had three children during their marriage. He apparently commited suicide on July 11, 1915, in Chicago, Illinois, at the age of 44. (SO THIS HENRY WYSONG WAS DEAD BEFORE 1919).
BUT, Reverand Daniel Wysong also had a brother, Henry Wysong born on February 6, 1853, in Elkhart, Indiana Robert and Anna Wysong. This Henry married Lavina Miller on October 5, 1875, in Elkhart, Indiana. They had three children in 13 years. He died on November 19, 1936, in his hometown at the age of 83. (BUT THIS HENRY WYSONG WOULD BE 66 IN 1919, NOT 82 OR 92)
Charles Edgar Wysong was born on February 25, 1878, in Nappanee, Indiana to Henry Wysong (1853-1936) and Lavina Miller Wysong. Charles married Carrie Estella Brown on June 1, 1901, in Elkhart, Indiana. They had five children during their marriage. He died in February 1973 in Plymouth, Indiana, at the age of 95, and was buried in his hometown. One of those 5 children was Cleo Harold Wysong born on February 19, 1903. Cleo married Freida Lucile Neff on November 25, 1926, in Nappanee, Indiana. Cleo died on August 9, 1975, in Plymouth, Indiana, at the age of 72.
Could this photo be Reverend Daniel Wysong born on September 28, 1842 to Robert and Anna Wysong? Daniel married Mary Alice Miller on September 7, 1862, in Elkhart, Indiana. He died on January 13, 1924, in Nappanee, Indiana, at the age of 81. (DANIEL WAS A REVEREND AND WOULD BE ABOUT 77 IN 1919)
