I've "rescued" an old photograph of Edith MARKLY or MARKLEY which was taken at the Phillips & Bergstresser Studio in Danville, Illinois.  The photograph appears to have been taken on Edith's 2nd birthday, 14 Mar 1888.

Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Edith and her family:

Edith Warfel MARKLEY b. 14 Mar 1886 in Danville, IL to parents Aaron Schwenk MARKLEY (b. 25 Nov 1851 in Montgomery Co. IN) and Ella WARFEL (b. 5 Feb 1857).  Her parents were married in Clermont, IN on 28 Jun 1877 and together they had three children, Mabel Indiana; Howard Naylor; and Edith Warfel MARKLEY, the first born in Crawfordsville, IN in 1878 and the last two in Danville in 1882 and 1886.
