Biographical Sketch	The Stuller family papers center on the family of Edward and Jennie Stuller of Bowling Green, Ohio. Edward was born in Fostoria, Ohio in 1871 to Jacob and Sarah Stuller, but around 1881 they relocated to Bowling Green, where the family lived after that. A mason by trade, Edward was active during the period when many of Bowling Green's buildings were constructed. In 1899 he was married to Jennie Walker (1882-1966), having one son, Leroy, born in 1900. Edward died in 1942. Leroy, who died in 1967, married Harriet Wilkins in 1931, but they had no children.
Scope and Content	The bulk of the Stuller Family papers provides a multigenerational look at the members of Edward and Jennie Stuller family. With genealogical information sheets the relationships to associated Walker, Grames, and Wilkins families are also provided, with many of the individuals also identified in loose family photographs. Beyond the details on the family in particular, the collection also provides a visual glimpse of life in Bowling Green and the surrounding area during the early years of the 20th century. The photographs originally in a family photo album (removed for preservation purposes) show many typical rural activities such as keeping poultry, pigs, and selling home-grown peaches, probably while Edward and Jennie were living on Sand Ridge Road in Bowling Green.
