Orphan Photo # 91 Sepia Saturday Henry and Emile Wertz Berndt Cabinet Photo

For sepia Saturday I want you to meet Henry Carl and Emilie ( Wertz ) Berndt of Industry Texas.

I picked this vintage cabinet photo in Houston, Texas a few months ago paying more than I usually would but having it identified was great.

Hopefully a family member will spot it and want it in their family photo collection and will be happy to reimburse me.

I went to http://www.ancestry.com/ and found Henry and Emilie in the 1880 census. This shows us were they were living, who was living in their home. Besides their children we have Henry's siblings and a farm laborer. His occupation is a farmer.

Orphan Photo # 47 Little Girls And Their Dolls .... A Glimpse Of The Past .. Vintage Thingies Thursday

I found this photo recently at an antique store to resell on eBay. It has two darling little girls in their winter coats and hats holding their new dolls

Back of photo says " Our " twins " Everybody thinks they are. With two of the dolls they got for Christmas. Norma calls them creepy dolls ... she means sleepy doll.

No other identification but what do we know?

One little girl's name is Norma

They are not really twins

They live some where cold enough for coats and hats

They are wearing shoes that look like they are from the early 1900's

The little girl on the left appears to be wearing glasses

The building on the right looks like it is either a large house or their are two houses real close together. Their is a fence at the front of one of them.

I found these at an antique store in the Houston Texas area but who knows where the photo is really taken

Happy Vintage Thingies Thursday.. you can visit other posts by going to http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/02/vintage-thingies-thursday-celebration.html

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.


Thanks For Stopping By ... Grace

Orphan Photo # 28 Texas Houston 1894 School Children

This is a wonderful old photo of school children from 1894 that I found at an antique store recently. It is so sad that some one did not keep this within there family.

Photo is faded, but still can make these cute faces. Back of photo says

Felton first grade Jordy school Houston Mar 15 1894.

I have not been able to find if there was a school called Felton or if that is Jordy last name.

I will be offering for sale and hopefully find someone who knows an ancestor that may be in this photo or someone who collects vintage photos of children.
