17: Alfred Schmidt, confirmation photo, age 14, 1916.
16: The Ernest & Minnie Ruhbusch family, about 1912. Ernest was the uncle of our grandmother Irmgard Ruhbusch Schmidt, so the kids in this photo were her first cousins. Marie, second from right in the back row, was Irmgard's age. The ancestry.com family tree I got the photo from lists the family members as: back, Ernest Jr., Amanda, Helena, Arlo, Marie, Ella; front Minnie (Wilhelmina Schenk), Clara, Minnie, and Ernest.
