This photo is from Lee Smittendorf. The photo was taken ca. 1940. I am not sure the names in order but his mother, Marjorie Metty Smittendorf is the second from the left in the back row.

Louis Royal Metty born 22 Aug 1890 Leonidas Twp, St. Joseph County, Michigan and Florence Lillian Moyer born 14 Oct 1891 Brady Twp, Kalamazoo Co., MI., married 17 Mar 1910 at Mendon, MI. Children: Helen Juanita b. 8 Mar 1912, Mendon; Majorie Marie b. 1 Sep 1913 Leonidas Twp; Lucille Margaret b. 4 Dec 1915 Leonidas Twp; Aloys Charles b. 7 May 1918 Texas Twp, Kalamazoo Co; Joseph Keith b. 29 Jan 1920 Mendon; Janice Ann b. 12 Jun 1935 Three Rivers. Florence died 26 Jun 1960 Battle Creek and Louis died 27 Sep 1948 Vicksburg, MI. I would suggest that Helen is pictured to the right of Majorie Aloys on the far right with Janice seated in front of him, Joseph Keith on far left with Lucille seated in front of him. You might want to check this with Lee.

So the reader may ask, who was this Isaac Metty who died in the service of his country! Isaac was the third of eight children born to the union of Isaias (Eli) and Mary Anne Beauregard. He was born on 7 November 1841 and baptized the following August 1842 at St. Mary's Church in Monroe, Michigan. He enlisted in Company K of the 7th Michigan Volunteers on 29 January 1864 at Monroe, Michigan for a term of three years. The company was mustered at Detroit on the following day. At the time of enlistment, Isaac was described as being 5'6" in height, fair complexion, with blue eyes and brown hair. His occupation is given as farmer. The Seventh was reassembled at the end of January 1864 and returned to its old camp at Barry's Hill. In May the regiment started on the long campaign which finally ended in the siege of Petersburg and the surrender of the army of northern Virginia. It was part of the famous Second Corps, and crossed the Rapidan at Ely's Ford on the 4th of May....

I found your comment about his being mentioned in the L & C journals and referred to as Mr. Metty very intriguing. I tried searching the journal online and was unsuccessful in finding any references to Jacques. However, this Jacques cannot be our immediate ancestor, although I do believe that he is related. I ha...
