Most likely his uncle, Benjamin Frederick Benkelman, or possibly a cousin, Glen Frederick Benkelman? Or perhaps the Fred (left) is Frederick Maier, Ward's first cousin on his mothers side of the family? HELP US POSITIVELY IDENTIFY FRED. |

| 291 |  | Benkelman, William Frederick ca 1870's (Thought to be) This was in a group of tintypes originally belonging to Louisa Benkelman Schwegler. These tintypes appear to be of Louisa and her brothers, all children of Adam and Catherine Benkelman of Cass City. Alvin Benkelman, Jr., a great grandson of of Adam and Catherine, believes this to be a photo of their son William Frederick. This is based on his comparison to other family and group photos owned and labeled by his late father, Alvin Benkelman Sr. However, based on Marjory Schwegler Battel's identificaton of the various Benkelman sons from a group photo taken around the same time period, it is possible that this might instead be Will's younger brother, Ben.
