This is another photo of an unknown subject. I can't really identify the house, so I can't determine which part of our extended family lived there. All I can say is they were connected to the Krueger-Rachuigs in some way. Note the snow/ice.
(Update) Mayme Rachuig Hause (my aunt) has told me this is the Krueger home on the east side of the Bosque River. This is the home they lived in before moving to the home I always knew on the west side of town.
Here's a photo of an unidentified group of family, in-laws or friends of the Krueger-Rachuig family. No idea on the date or location. Any help is appreciated. (They may be tossing horse shoes.)
I have good reason to think this photo was taken sometime in 1934, probably just before Selma was to travel to a tuberculosis sanitarium in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This photo was probably taken as her family gathered to say good-bye. Notice how sickly she looks. She died in January, 1935 of tuberculosis.
The location is her home on Hackberry Street in Clifton. The two little girls are my mother, Sally Rachuig Kelly (left) & Mayme Rachuig Hause (right). The standing adults from left-to-right are Evelyn Rachuig Belcher, Herbert Rachuig (my grandfather), Mamie Adams Rachuig (my grandmother), Julius Herman Rachuig (my great-grandfather), Hildegard Rachuig Krueger, Tobias Schulz, Alvina Beyerstedt Rachuig, Walter Rachuig (Sr.), Wilhelmina Schulz (in front of Walter) and Edgar Rachuig. Selma is the seated woman.
This photo shows Wilhelmina Schulz, her daughter Selma Schulz Rachuig, her granddaughter Hilda Rachuig Krueger and great-granddaughter Dorothy Krueger Mansur. I'm not certain of the exact date, but it must be around 1923. The location may be the Schulz home north of Clifton. I don't have any good guesses on the identity of the boy in the background.
I'm not sure who these people are, or where the picture was taken although the stamp on the back says it was taken around August 12, 1924. These people are family, in-laws, or friends of the Krueger-Rachuig family. I appreciate any help with identifying them.
This photo shows Flora Viertel Meissner sometime before 1920. (She was born in 1905.) I'm not sure of the location, but it may be her grandparents' farm near Cranfils Gap. (Her grandparents were Tobias & Wilhelmina Schulz.)
This photo shows the extended Schulz family celebrating Tobias & Wilhelmina's 50th wedding anniversary on June 8, 1923. The location for this photo is the home of Julius & Selma Rachuig. It still stands on Hackberry Street in Clifton. Selma was the couple's oldest daughter. I have a newspaper account of the celebration which I'll post later.
Herbert Schulz, oldest attendee at the recent family reunion, is one of the little guys in the front. I'll bet he's the one next to his grandfather's left knee.
