Orphan Photo #42 Texas Mr and Mrs Henry Carl Berndt



This is the other cabinet photo I bought at the antique store. It also is identified and I hope that a family member finds it when I offer it on ebay. This picture is smaller and is of an older couple. It is identified as Mr and Mrs Henry Carl Berndt Industry Texas and has written in ink Emilie Wertz Berndt . In pencil it has Emilie written and not sure if they are trying to tell us that it is Emile parents or if the lady is Emilie.

Did a quick check on ancestry and came up with no information on him.

Hope that you have enjoyed seeing this orphan photo I found... Thanks For Stopping By .. Grace

Orphan Photo # 41 Houston Texas Frank and Bertha Koehler Wedding


Take a look at the great vintage cabinet photo I found this week at an antique store. I plan to put this up for sale on my eBay site but wanted to give you a preview.
I love vintage wedding photos and this one is fantastic. She is in the most beautiful dress with ruffles. There is a flower in her hair and her bouquet is fairly large.
The groom is a real handsome young man with three piece suit and a mustache.
Best of all this one is identified. So sad that families let them go.
Back is identified as Frank and Bertha Berndt Koeher Houston Texas Wedding photo.

I found them in the 1910 census in Texas. Census says he is 36 and she is 20 and that they had been married 5 years. If this fact is true she was 15 when they married. The census has him born in Germany and she was born in Texas.
I did not find them in Texas in 1920 on a quick search.
