Valentine Sendelbach & Elizabeth Hesch Wedding

A huge THANK YOU to our newest family contact--Kathleen, a descendant of the Dworschaks and Sendelbachs around Waumandee, Wisconsin. (If you're lost, read the history below the header, above)

I adore family wedding pics. This one is cool because Kathleen said that Val and Lizzy were especially devoted to each other, and that when she died on Valentine's Day in 1962, he couldn't go on without her. Val died two weeks later, on March 2, 1962.

BUT, these two items (pic & clipping) were from 55 years earlier,

in 1904, a much happier time for them...
