Notes
This photograph of William Bettiker was taken by his brother, the “traveling artist” Charles H. Bettiker (1873-1895) . Charles and his brothers were the sons of Henry (of Prussia) and Bissina (nee Doud), and they lived in Mecca, Ohio. Charles became part of Frazier & Bettiker Photographers of Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, and died of typhoid fever in 1935 in Kentucky where he had been operating a studio. He is buried in East Mecca Cemetery.
The 1880 census finds William living in Mecca with his parents and siblings, Godfrey, Charles, Clinton and Frederic. William died in 1937 and is buried in Crown Hill Burial Park, Vienna beside his wife Bessie Joyce, whom he married in 1898.
