Since Larry and I recognized the name now, we noticed "Dengels" in the Pierz Journal when Math mentioned them, most often because someone bought a large implement from DENGELS dealership in Buckman.
And, we knew MUELLERS, because Ket Mueller was John Hesch's wife.
Click the links there--it really does make sense, honest.
This morning, I got another email from Chris (see the 'Ferdie's letter' post, below) with some WONDERFUL old photos to share here, as well as a new connection for me (--a person in another picture IDd for sure ☺. YAY x 2!) But first, the Stepan and Dengel pics Chris sent:
 |
| Marie and Albert Stepan with their first three kids: L to R: Larry, Ozzie & Ferdie. |
 |
| This young family pic had to be from 1924-- Grandpa Lorenz was living with Albert & Marie, and she's holding the new baby, Lawrence, or else a sack of flour. |
 |
| Lorenz and Barbara Stepan, possibly around 1900, in Germany. (They emigrated in 1907). |
 |
| These two photos are the Albert Stepan family in the 40s. The formal one is labeled "1943" and I think they were both taken because Larry was home from the Navy. |
The Minnesota Marriages list says Nick Mueller married Lena Dengel on June 18, 1907 so this portrait is Nick and Lena on their
55th wedding anniversary in 1962 ☺
Ok, we don't want photo overload, so I'll stop here. Not to worry, I'll post corrections and more pics tomorrow, as well as WHO Nick and Lena were, promise.
I know. This is almost too exciting, but you'll live.
