BRODT, Marie Thron (Schenectady NY)

MARIE THRON BRODT

IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Marie Thrön Brödt"
PHOTO TAKEN: Kettner & Mader Studio, Schenectady NY, circa 1889
PURCHASED: 2014 August Madison-Bouckville (NY) Antiques Week

The inscription on the back reads:

Marie Thron Brodt (or Bradt)
Geboren 16 June 1872
Gest. am Weihnachtsmorgen 1891
Es war ein süßer Traum

This translates from German:

Marie Thron Brodt
born 16 June 1872
died on Christmas morning 1891
"It was a sweet dream."

Not sure if Thron is a middle name or maiden name.  I do not yet find this woman in the Schenectady area in this time frame, although there are plenty of families named Thron, Brodt, Bradt, and Brandt in the area.
