The Miller Family Albums, circa 1914. These
two albums are heirlooms of the Miller (Muller) family, originally
assembled by Anna Goeres (Miller), the wife of John Peter Miller, also known as Pete
Miller. Anna died tragically in 1915 at the age of
thirty-six, leaving behind a husband and seven
children, ranging in age from four to
eighteen years. The family is very fortunate that she
created these albums, as they hold the only known pictures assembled of these distant
ancestors. The column below entitled "Written Caption" is the text that
was actually written by Anna Goeres or other relatives
to describe each picture.

Wedding picture with two couples,
one lady in a wedding dress. Apparently, these people are P. Theodore Goeres
(man on left, sitting) and his wife Dora Kenkal.
UPDATE: 09/01/99: The man on the right is John
Goeres and either his wife Mary Ellen Kurt. I can't make out which "wife"
goes with which Goeres brother. |
