Alice (Burke) Hyland with granddaughter Dorothy McCullough

An independent lady, she came to Grand Rapids from Canada and married John Hyland. They made their way west and eventually settled in Tonopah, NV.

Two Couples

This picture listed the people as John Hyland and Alice (Burke) Hyland. Consistent with other pictures we have, they would be the people who are seated. The identity of the standing people is not known at the present.

John Hyland (1861-1936)

He married Alice Burke and they moved west to Tonopah, NV.

John G Hyland (1825-1897)

Brother of Daniel Hyland. Also emmigrated to Grand Rapids, MI.

Daniel Hyland (1820-1889)

This picture of Daniel Hyland was originally found on Vicki McCall-Nolan's website.

Mary (Ryan) Hyland (1831-1900)

Married Daniel Hyland in Ireland. Was most likely widowed in Ireland and emmigrated to Grand Rapids with her children.

Best estimate of the people in this picture are:

Standing, L-R: Anthony F, Mathew, John, Charles

Seated, L-R: Charles, Katarina, Peter, Caroline

Judith Johanna (Hyland) Schmidt (1859-1943)

Daughter of Daniel Hyland. My great-grandmother. She married John Schmidt in Grand Rapids, MI.

John and Judith Johanna (Hyland) Schmidt Family

Standing, L-R: Val, Ot, Kitty, Mary

Middle, L-R: John, Johanna, Ray

Seated, L-R: Amos, Cy, Lil

Other notes (provided by Mary (Schmidt) Williams):

- Ray had a toothache - Note swollen jaw

- Studio cat wouldnot stay off Johanna's lap, so they included it in the picture.

- Lil wanted to wear her best white dress but it was in the laundry so they quickly threw on a dark red one and only *just* combed her hair - she had been playing outside.

- John was killed in 1909 and Cy looks about 3, so this picture was probably taken around 1906.

Judith Johanna (Hyland) Schmidt and her children

My best guess about the individuals is:

L-R: Amos, Ot, Lil, Johanna, Kitty,Ray, Mary, Cy and Val

Anyone have any corrections?

Mary Schmidt at Lakewood

These pictures were taken before the Lakewood cottage was built. Mary was sent there on a 'scouting mission'. Apparently, she was a little distracted by the local boys.
