Information on William F Pafford born 14 Apr 1886, his sister Dora born 1889. Two other children were sent to Washington State and Oregon one remained in Wisconsin, but had name changed to Arthur Schulz ??

Pretty sure the father was a lead miner and must have died 1890 - 1900. What is bugging me is I have a photo of this person as well as a photo of the grandfather. Someone must be able to check their old photos and identify where this family connects. I have done two years of research and need help

William F Pafford born 14 Apr 1886, his sister Dora born 1889

Parents were John Wesley Pafford and Mary Elizabeth Munson, divorced in about 1896. Mary married Aron Chase (husband of Sarah Emaline Pafford)John and Sarah were brother and sister.

Mary is buried in Illinois and mention Roy and Merle as children, but no mention of the William and Dora. I did find a personal ad in 1914 that has William looking for his mother.

Any further information, particularly with adoption in Wisconsin would be much appreciated.
