Your website is great. What is the story behind the naming of Nelson Road in Chandler?

That lady in that picture with her husband and two daughters is carmen antonia forster,she
was born in juarez mexico, she is my great aunt,her brother frank forster was my grandfather.they
lived also in benson az

I find it mildly humorous that in this "English Only" climate it is wildly popular
to pronounce Germann as "Germaine" or "Germane" instead of how it is actually spelled.
I think every resident should make a conscious effort to pronounce
the language correctly, as spelled, and politely correct those who do not. If the people
want to pronounce it differently, they can petition the city to change the spelling.

I am intereested in the history of the "Hamilton" name in Chandler. The "Chandler
Historical Overview" mentions the street as a boundry in 1912.

I found this very interesting, especially since there is a good chance we are related.

The Kyrene Road page contains a photo of the Aepli family from 1903.  They were: Ernest,
David, Margaret, Lizetta, and baby Milton "Fritz" Aepli.  Margaret Aepli, the girl
wearing the hat, was my grandmother.

The other photo of the Kyrene School from 1908 shows a tall boy wearing a hat.  He
looks a lot like Ernest Aepli from the 1903 photo. Ernest Aepli died in 1903, so maybe
the photo was actually taken in 1903, not 1908?

I am the great neice of George Wylie Paul Hunt.  I don't want to do a report but am
very glad to read about my uncle.  Thanks
