Cleaning out a drawer yesterday, I found a stash of photos--some you've seen already, but here are a few I haven't posted. This one, if the 3rd kid is Loretta Janson, had to be about 1919. I think the boys are brothers Ed and Charlie Brandl...who were sons of Frances Janson and John Brandl. Theres a machine shed in the background, so I expect this was a day on the farm with one family visiting another.
Fast foreward 60 years, and we have these:
I think this was Adella & Killian Zenner's dining room--it had to be before 1983--that's when Fr Leo died, and both these women died in 1985. (I'm not positive the near one is Frances, but it probably is).
(Ok, I'm not positive it's Zenners dining room either!) Rose was Leo's mother, and she was his housekeeper for the last years of their lives, after Joe Brandl died in 1950.
Ah, it's nice to see those faces again, the way I knew them.
Marlys,
ReplyDeleteConfirmation on the photo location being Adela and Kilian's dining room (at least the way I remember it), and, yes, that is Frances (my great grandma) in the foreground. Julie Zenner
