This cute little kid is identified by handwritten notes on the back of each photo as Mable (Fasel) Dewell.

The DeWell family archivist was able to save me a lot of work by explaining where this little creature came from and where she went: "Mable's parents were John J. Fasel and Anna Foreman (sister of Otto). Her grandparents were Henry J. Fasel and Mary Ann Springman. Mary Ann was another daughter of Charles Springman and Caroline Kegebein." We have already seen Mable's younger sister, Marie, among the early-1930s students at W.G. Haan School.

Mable Fasel grew up to become Mrs. Conrad DeWell. (Conrad was the son of William F. DeWell and his first wife, Martha Wischman, who died in the flu epidemic.) Mable and Conrad were married May 11, 1937.
