Back row left to right: Zack, Frank, & Jack Front left to right: Betty, Lucinda, Mary, Amanda & Iduma The photo was taken in 1937. It is linked from Ancient Faces at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/367491

The Ancient Faces contributor of this photo wrote, "These are the brothers of Amanda Ellen Griffee Gordon, my great grandmother. She and my great grandfather traveled back from Kansas to Indiana in the early 1900's when this picture was taken." The picture is taken from http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/365310

Here, youngest to oldest, are the children of Julius and Emma Henrichsen taken at the 1970 reunion held at Sunset Park, Rosenberg, TX. From left to right: Hilda Rosenbaum (1910-1984); Ben Hendricks (1907-1971); Walter Henrichsen (1905-1986); Louis Henrichsen (1902-1981); Fred Henrichsen (1901-1987); Will Hendricks (1899-1981); Adolph Henrichsen (1897-1978); Minnie Hafer (1895-1978); Louise Hafer (1894-1981); Henry Hendrickson (1892-1970) One very interesting thing about this family is how many different spellings of the surname there are. One or two could be take as typographical errors, but it sounds like three of the brothers "Anglicized" their names to Hendricks or Hendrickson. And it also sounds like two sisters may have married brothers, as they both have the same married name. This is from Ancient Faces at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/365440

Undated. G.W. Darling was born in the 1830s - he looks like he's in his 30s on here, maybe. So, I figure it was taken around the 1870s or 1880s at the latest."
