NOTES

Click HERE for another Boetcher photograph purchased with this one.

My reasoning for picking Mary Boutcher as "Mother Boetcher". First, as for the spelling census takers were horrible
spellers when it came to names and wrote what they thought it sounded like. Second, the type of photograph
places it as taken no later than possibly mid 1870's. All other female Boutchers I found were born 1840 or later
making them in their 30's when the photograph would have been taken and I believe the woman in the photograph
is older than her 30's. Third, although there is no location printed in the photograph the photographer Frank Wilcox
was a photographer located in Onconto, Wisconsin near where Mary was in the 1880 census when she  and her
husband were visiting or living with their daughter Mary Pacain.
