Miss Ella B. Hart who lived with her niece Mary Agnes Schultz when she died at 9 or 11 Shippen Street in 1911 gave it to me with that understanding (gave in the fall of 1935)
Julie was sister of Alexander Shultz who was a tinsmith in Strasburg. He built the house now owned by Robert E. Groh on site of birthplace of Thomas Burroughs.
Portrait of three sons of Jacob Eichholtz, Henry Clay Eichholtz, Lavallyn Barry Eichholtz, and Robert Lindsay Eichholtz.
Jacob Eichholtz and his second wife, Catherine Trissler Eichholtz, named their three youngest children after prominent Kentucky senator and former secretary of state Henry Clay; Baltimore banker Lavallyn Barry; and beloved son-in-law and Philadelphia bookseller Robert Lindsay.
The father of 13 children, Eichholtz portrayed his three youngest with an immediacy and grace that rivals his finest work. Captured just four years prior to the artist's death, these angelic faces are rendered through the eyes of a father's's love and affection. - Thomas Ryan, President and CEO of LancasterHistory.org
