Title: Childhood Photos of Mary Belle Kennard, nee Drach
Contributor: Dawn Beck of Lancaster,Pennsylvania
Approx. Date of Photos: 1862 - 1865
Relation of Photo Subjects: Because I've not yet found record of another woman from the Baltimore area named Mary Belle Kennard, I believe she is Mary Belle Drach, daughter of Hanson Maurer Drach and Elender H. Lamotte. I've not identified where J. Emma? Kennard fits within our Kennard family tree.
Document's History: On April 13, 2015 I received an email from Dawn Beck of Pennsylvania. Here is some extracted text. "My parents gave me an old cabinet card album still in its original form that is full of portraits with no names from the Baltimore area and other areas of Maryland. No names until you get to the last page of the book, then there are 3 photos with names hand written in pencil. Two of the photos have the name Mary Belle Kennard written above the pictures of the small girl, and it appears to say J. Emma Kennard above the woman...I googled the name Mary Belle Kennard, and I found your site showing Mary Belle Drach Kennard so I thought I would reach out to see if I could find the true family of these amazing beautifully preserved photos. I am attaching pictures of my book and the photos inside."

After trading emails a few times Dawn gave me a little more information in an email dated Saturday, April 18, 2015. She stated, "So glad that you received my email. My mother got them at an auction, I'll have to ask her where. We are in Lancaster, PA. If you send me your address I would be more than happy to mail them to you."
