- Four Generations: Schumaker to Krause (66 KB)
This is one of the "four generations" pictures - with my mother being the youngest person. In the front is Anna Marie (Schumaker) Sanderson (on the left) and Roxanne Krause (on the right), and in the back is Marie (Morton) Krause (on the left) and Pauline (Sanderson) Morton on the right. I'd estimate that this picture is from the late 1930's.

Another "Four Generation" picture, probably the earliest one I have. Counter-clockwise, from the bottom: Joyce Krause; Joyce's mother, Olga (Nordgard) Krause; Olga's mother, Marie (Paulson) Nordgard; and Marie's mother, Mary (Paulson) Jolsrud.

- Pauline & Roy Morton's 50th Anniversary (27 KB)
This one is from Pauline & Roy Morton's 50th Anniversary. I've been told that Pauline was determined to wear her original wedding dress for the occassion, but had to have it tailored slightly to be able to do so.

standing, front: Madeline (2 ½), Bunny (12), Fran, Bud, Roxanne Krause (10), Anita, Tommy (10 ½), Nan;

- Pauline & Marie Morton (102 KB)
I'm pretty sure that this is Pauline & Marie Morton - at least I believe that the woman's features match those I've seen on some of Pauline's other pictures from when she was younger. My only reason for doubt is that someone wrote "Paulina and daughter Mary Sanderson-Morton" on the picture.

- Floyd & Marie Krause with Roxanne, Mary and Bill (53 KB)
This is Floyd & Marie Krause with children Roxanne, Mary and Bill. Bill looks pretty young, and Fred isn't there yet, so I'd imagine that this one is from the summer of either 1947 or 1948.

Here's another one of Floyd & Marie Krause with the kids: (l-r) Mary, Bill, Rox and Fred. My Mom tells me that Marie insisted on these periodic family pictures, but it's apparent that the kids didn't always share her enthusiasm.

Triple Golden Wedding Anniversary - Sanderson, Krauss, Huber - Nov. 6, 1929, Ellsworth, WI (LEFT-hand side of picture - shows many family members & friends)
- Triple Golden Wedding Anniversary - group photo(R) (704 KB)
This is part of the most "comprehensive" of the pictures of the "Triple Golden Wedding Anniversary" of the Sandersons, Krauss', and Hubers that took place on Nov. 6, 1929 in Ellsworth, WI. This was quite a long picture - I was able to capture only one side of it at a time in the scanner (and unfortunately I cut off Nan Schumacher in the process). It provides a good image, though, of the number of family members and well-wishers that participated in that event.
- Thomas Morton Sr. & family (156 KB)
standing, l-r: John, Thomas Jr., Sarah, Mary, Cordelia, and Stephen; seated, l-r: Columbus, Thomas Sr., Frances, and Charles K. Morton. Missing were sons William M. and Cornelius, who were homesteading in Dakota Territory and prospecting for gold in the far west, respectively, at the time of this picture.
- Roy Morton with mother Angeline(?) (80 KB)
This is Roy Morton, certainly, and the concensus so far is that the woman is most likely his mother, Angeline. I haven't seen any other pictures of her, so I have nothing to compare her to.
- Four Generations: Nordgard to Meyer (34 KB)
I was lucky enough to participate in two "Four Generation" pictures: in this one, my grandpa Floyd Krause ("Boppa") is on the left; I'm sitting in my mother's (Roxanne Krause Meyer) lap; and my great-grandma Olga (Nordgard) Krause is seated on the right. This one would be from the late 1950's (1958?).
- Declaration of Intent - Frank Frederick Krause (389 KB)
This is the Declaration of Intent that Frank Krause was required to sign during World War I, since he was from Germany. Frank's grandson, Kenneth, told me that he was extremely upset at the time because he thought our government was going to be sending Frank back to Germany.
- Four Generations: Morton to Meyer (33 KB)
This is the other "Four Generation" picture I got to be in: my grandpa, Marie Krause ("Nanna") is on the left; I'm sitting in my mother's (Roxanne Krause Meyer's) lap; and my great-grandpa Roy Morton is on the right. This one is also from the late 1950's.
- Frank & Caroline (Buettner) Krause & children (155 KB)
This is Frank & Caroline (Buettner) Krause with their children: standing (l-r) is Laura Krause with John Noll, Alfred Krause, and William Krause with Lydia Thoms. The marital status of everyone at the time is unclear, but they were each eventually married. It's notable that Olga is not in this picture, and I've heard a number of theories about this. There were apparently some tensions between Alfred's parents and Olga at the time - either because of ethnic differences or because of Olga possibly being pregnant before they got married. It's also been noted that Alfred's suit is very wrinkled, and there's speculation that Alfred was not planning on participating in this picture until the last minute.
- Contract to purchase Frank Krause farm (1881) (330 KB)
This is the contract indicating that Frank Krause purchased the family farm from George Dow in 1881. There was only a small log cabin on the land at the time. Another interesting document in this regard is that of the land being originally purchased by George Dow from the Bureau of Land Management, in 1857 (this document is also included here).

I think there were a couple people missed, though.
