Estimated date 1896-97. Lydia was born in 1894 and seems to be about 2 years old in the picture. Conradine was born in 1886 and could very well be about 10 years old in the picture. Louise and John Kossmann were married in 1895.

Received from Norma Wacker, 17 Sep 1998. She received it from either Otis or Chester Wyneken.

7 Jan 1938 on Conradine Wyneken née Schilling’s 90th birthday.
Standing (l. to r.): Theodore Wyneken, Conradine Steger née W., Fred W., Lydia Gau née W.
Sitting (l. to r.): Gerhardt W., Conradine W. née Schilling, Henry Otto W., Louise Kossmann née W.
Picture obtained from Wyneken Fimmen. Probably from or as a result of Luise Wyneken’s hitch-hiking trip through the US.
