Unknown Vevay Pictures
Looking for Family
Photos courtesy of Maggie Jones, January, 2006.
I purchased three pictures of people taken by Walton studio in Vevay.
All three are cabinet cards probably taken between 1890 and 1920. I
would love to get these back to the family they belong to. I think one
may be of first Mrs. Danner (Mike's mother) but I may be wrong. These
pictures came from an auction in Kansas. The fourth picture was
taken in Indianapolis but most likely has ties back to Vevay.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Ella Catherine Banta of 51 years. Long-time resident of Louisville's Germantown neighborhood, George, often called “Buzz,” was born in Seymour, Ind., Oct . 5, 1913, and summered in Vevay, Ind. with his grandparents, Oliver and Jessie Banta. While at Highland Middle School he ran track; he went on to Manual High School. In 1975, he retired from the Penn Central Railroad after serving as an engineer for 33 years. During his tenure with the railroad, he ran Locomotive No. 8910, the last engine to cross connecting Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind. before it closed in 1969. Additionally, George served as the fireman on board “The General,” Locomotive No. 39 and No. 3, after her refit by L & N as she was moved out of the rail yard for the Civil War Centennial in 1962. He remained a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and served as a Kentucky Colonel since 1985. His survivors include five sons, George L., Jr., Robert E., of Simsbury, Conn., Richard B., Philip L. and Gregory P. Banta; two daughters, Michele Hammann of Fort Myers, FL., and Callista Raisor; a long-time companion Mae Karger; eight grandsons; 10 granddaughters; 13 great-grandsons; and six great-granddaughters and many friends at Atria Springdale community.

John Pavy (sometimes spelled Pavey or Peavy) was a Baptist minister who
lived in Kentucky in the early 1800's. He was considered controversial due
to his Abolitionist beliefs. He left Gallatin Co., Ky. in 1823 and moved
across the Ohio River to Switzerland Co., IN to avoid the turmoil that his
preaching against slavery caused among the church members who were slave
owners. He later moved to Decatur Co., IN where he preached at Sandcreek
Baptist Church, Adams Baptist Church, Liberty Baptist Church, and the Salem
(Burney) Baptist Church, all in Decatur Co., IN.

Bethel Methodist Church
Bethel Methodist Church. My Grandma, Lola Mae Kile Polk's first cousin Eva wrote on the picture she sent to Grandma:
"Here Lola is the church that our Great Grandfather Riley help build. It is now over 100 years old. I joined there when I was about 12 yrs old. I expect you might enjoy it. Just think they were seven years building it. Had to haul the brick with oxen. The church still look good not very many go. It's only about 1 or 1 1/2 mile from me."
I don't know who Eva's parents are. I think her Mom was either ClaraBelle McCellan or Lilly May Lemen.
My Great Great Great Grandpa Riley's daughter was named Indiana. She married Joseph Arnold Hinman in 1867. Indiana died May 21, 1881. Joseph died in 1877. Joseph apparently was severely injured in a war. Indiana's siblings were Mary, married Addie Lineback near Florence; Sara, married Amos Chase; Myria, married George Hinbet at Patriot, Ind.
Rebecca & Cassie who both died near Florence and were buried by their parents.

Pavy Family. [Description of picture by Mary Cox]
Grandpa (John David Pavy) & Grandma lived out in the country in Switz. Co. most of their married life. (The pic does not look like that house.) Grpa moved into Vevay in later years, so the house is probably in Vevay... note the sidewalk If not grpa's house, then most likely the home of Aunt Betty & Uncle Bill Bennett. Uncle Bill was a butcher in Vevay at one time. I know Grpa Absalom Pavy lived with Aunt Betty at one time.
Left to right: Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Pavy, w/o William Bennett;
Evaline (Eva) Pavy, wife of Herman Schiphorst;
Lavine (Viney) Pavy, w/o William (Bill) Higgins;

Tressie Pavy, w/o Francis Zearing (she later m. A. Wylie Wilson); Tressie Pavy had no children.
Elsie Pavy, w/o Grover Smith and my parents.
Grandpa John David Pavy is holding a baby.
The two taller girls with hair bows are Mable and Kathryn Higgins, d/o Aunt Lavina.
The boy in the striped suit is my brother Paul Lee Smith, born November, 1915.
Thus, we can date the picture at about 1919. The other children I cannot identify.

Banta / Class picture at Vevay Grade School
Photo taken at the grade school in Vevay, IN. On the back is written "class 2."
I am guessing this is second grade circa 1920. My dad, George (Buzz) Leslie Banta Jr., is the boy in the white shirt immediately behind the teacher in the top row. I'm sure he would appreciate knowing the names of some of the other children.
