Description: Here are two old cabinet card photos of the Rice/Reiss family. First is a photo of a husband and wife, she is in a black dress with dark hair, he is in a black suit with vest and tie and white shirt. He has dark hair and a mustache. On the back of this photo is written Grandpa Henry & Grandma Rice - Nana's Mother & Father. The second photo features three kids, the girls are dressed in white dresses with dark leggings and black high top shoes. The younger girl's shoes button up. The boy is in a white shirt with a dark tie, I think he has on black pants, but he is standing in back of the smallest child's chair. On the back is written Aunt Sarah, Uncle Bill & Tillie Rice. Both photos were taken by Biller of S. Bethlehem, PA. I did some research and found a Henry REISS, who was married to Hattie Mack in 1900 in Coopersburg, PA. In the 1910 census the name is spelled RICE as it is on the photo. In the 1910 census they are living in Upper Saucon, Lehigh County, PA with their children: William G. age 7, Sarah A. age 4 and Tillie age 3. Tillie's real name is Matilda. In other records I have found that Sarah married Paul Dorney, Tillie married Edward Ziegenfuss and Bill married Rena Lutz. Bill died in 1961, Sarah in 1971 and Tillie in 1972. Their parents Henry died in 1934 and Hattie in 1936. Henry and Hattie are buried in Friedensville Cemetery. I think this is the right family, but the name was spelled wrong on these photos, would take more research to prove this. The photos are nice and clear, the one of the children has had the cardboard taped at the bottom and side where it was torn, but this doesn't affect the photo. They both have some rough spots around the edges and corners. Great for anyone researching the Reiss or Mack family history. Postage will be 5.00 to the U. S. IF OUTSIDE THE U. S., PLEASE USE THE POSTAL CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE THE COST OF POSTAGE. If you like old photographs and ephemera, please check out my EBay store and the other old photos I have listed.
