Thurtell and Related Families
Notes for Edward Benjamin THURTELL
The Thurtell Family History done about 1963 and the History of the
Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia Thurtell about 1968 show Edward
Thurtell was secretary-treasurer of Chicago Copy Company, Austin,
Illinois, and that Edward and Anna Thurtell had no children.
He is listed as Edward B. Thurtell, a single white male age 45 and born
in Canada in March 1855 in the 1900 U.S. Census for Traverse City, Grand
Traverse County, Michigan (Volume 23, SD 11, ED 41, Sheet 10, Line 26).
His occupation is shown as picture (dealer) with no months unemployed.
He is living with his parents, Francis and Amelia Thurtell, in the house
owned by his father at 304 West Ninth Street, Traverse City, Michigan.
The census shows he and his parents all immigrated to the United States
in 1866, 34 years earlier, and that both he and his father were
naturalized U.S. citizens.
The 1901 Traverse City, Michigan, directory list him as "Thurtell, Edward
B, bds 304 W 9th." He is not listed in the 1905 Traverse City directory.
A letter dated February 25, 1998, from Dr. James W. Miller, also
confirmed that Edward B. Thurtell and Alfred Thurtell formed the Chicago
Copy Company, which enlarged pictures and was quite successful.
The death certificate of his mother from 1917 and his 1936 death
certificate both show his address as 817 North Lorel Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois. His death certificate shows he had been a bookkeeper and that
he had worked until 1935. The Illinois death index 6000016 shows Edward
B. Thurtell died January 2, 1936, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. His
death certificate shows he was 79 at the time he died.
The death notice in the January 3, 1936, Chicago Tribune shows he was
"husband of the late Anna B. Thurtell, brother of Mrs. Louisa Cook and
Henry Thurtell."
He was buried January 4, 1936, at Elmwood Cemetery, 2905 North Thatcher
Road, River Grove, Illinois 60171, 708-478-5400, in lot 5, section 3.
