Evidently, there were lots of pictures taken in 1925 on the occasion of John and Mary's 50th. This photo, below, was labeled 'Janson and Sauer families' in 1925. Five sons and six daughters provided quite a nice crop of kids, even if one sib was a nun. I count 55 people including John and Mary, tho certainly some were their brothers, sisters and spouses.
BTW, the son on the left in the top pic was Joseph, who was the blacksmith in Buckman. He married Mary Poster in 1901, and they had three kids: Irene, Robert and Otto.
Many years later, Irene and Robert would help out pretty often in the store after we bought it from Zenners. They were 23 and 20 when this pic was taken. I wonder which ones they were...
