Per Barbara:

-I have been collecting as many pictures as I could through the years, I'm still collecting. I have a picture of Hannah Dille and her husband David Bryant Cooper; plus some of their children. I have a picture of their daughter Mary Jane Cooper and her 2nd husband Thomas Harvey Leech (my great-grandparents) & I just found a picture of Mary Jane recently from a cousin in MT who I met through genealogy. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of her 1st husband John P. Leech, bro. of 2nd husband. The only picture I have of Thomas H. Leech is him in his bathrobe. I also have some pictures of all of Mary Jane's children. Would you like me to send those pictures for your website? I also, have a picture of another Dille and think he might be a brother of Hannah's, but not sure. He is standing with about 5 other men, are basically all Coopers. I could send that one too.

I am Barbara Ludwick and I'm a descendant of Mary Jane Cooper who married 1st John Preston Leech. After he died she married 2nd his brother Thomas Harvey Leech (my great-grandparents). Mary Jane Cooper is the d/o David Bryant Cooper and Hannah Dille who is the d/o of Ezra Dille and Mary McFarland; Ezra is the s/o Isaac and Sarah (nee unk.); Isaac is the s/o David Dille and Mary Elizabeth Wade.

-Unknown Dille, can you help identify??

Here is that picture I was telling you about with a Dille standing with 5 other men 3 are Cooper's and one was married to a Cooper with his son. I think Dille could be a brother of Hannah's or he is probably a son of one of her brothers. Maybe someone out there can identify him. From left to right is:

Leslie Lamb Cooper, Charles White/Winthrope Cooper, ...??.. Dille, David Charles Cooper, Andrew Milton Vance & his son Bert M. Vance. Picture was taken in the Fall of 1906.
