Herbert V. Schulz At The 2010 Family Reunion

H. V. was the oldest attendee at the 2010 family reunion last July. He's wearing his authentic German hat. A relative bought it for him on a recent trip to Germany, and you can tell H. V. is very proud of it. Looks good!

Helon Ruth Viertel Knudson

Here's a picture of Helon Ruth as a toddler. I'll be tactful and say this picture must have been taken in the late 1930s.

Schulz Family Reunion, July, 1965

These three picture show the Schulz Family Reunion held in 1965 at the Tobias & Wilhelmina Schulz homestead west of Clifton. My family didn't attend this reunion, but we went to one out at the old family farm a couple of years earlier. We had a lot of fun out in the yard.

If I remember correctly, someone grilled a goat among other meats. I can't recall if I tried it.

Undated Photo of Men's Picnic

This picture comes from the Krueger family photo collection. The only person I can identify is Will Krueger, Sr. You see him at the center of the table. I can't identify any of the other men.

This is a stag affair, but they are dressed in suits & ties. Maybe it's a men's fellowship outing or a fraternal organization function. The date must be sometime in the 1920s.

Photo of Picnic dated May 1, 1921

We have other pictures from this picnic. An annotation on the back of this one says, '5 - 1 - 21.' I can identify Hilda Rachuig Krueger on the left side of the table. I think that's her brother Walter Rachuig, Sr. on the far end of the right side. I'm sure that's Evelyn Rachuig Belcher standing in the background on the right (in the black hat). I can't identify any of the others. Any ideas?

Unidentified Soldier, Early 20th Century

We found this photo among the Krueger family photos. The man appears to be dressed in an army uniform (WWI vintage). The date and location are unknown. Any idea on who this is? Location or date?

Unidentified Homestead, 1925

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.
