Bechtel paintings early 1900's
Would love to find out if anyone out there has any knowledge of John C.
Bechtel paintings.Stories from family is he painted murals in over 300
churches in western Ohio. I do know he has some in Lima/Delphos
area..one at the funeral home there and a mural at Delphos St. Johns
that they are restoring.He painted for a living to support 9 children.
He also did watercolors and sold them..some in Chicago.He painted
pictures above fireplaces and then the folks would put a frame up around
the pic on the wall.
