Anthony John Maresh and Mary Ilene Nemecek. These photographs were purchased on Ebay at separate times.Unfortunately, I haven't kept track of who I was buying photos from. It was only after I laid my photos out that I realized three of them were of Mary (Nemecek) Maresh.
The first photo is almost certainly their wedding photograph. Anton Maresh, age 27 and the son of Jacob Maresh and Mary Eskstoyn,, was married on 5 June 1899 to Mary Nemecek, age 24 (her parents were not listed on the marriage record). The wedding took place at Provemont, Leelanau County, Michigan. Both were natives of Bohemia. Anton worked as a farmer and lived at Gills Pier, while Mary was a housekeeper living in Traverse City. Alex F, Zugolder, a priest, conducted the ceremony, which was witnessed by John Kolarik and Mary Novotny of Gills Pier.
