Apparently the William Brunken family is visiting William's brother, John Louis "Louie" Brunken, at Louis's home in Columbus, Nebraska. Louis's wife, Lina (Schneider) Brunken, had passed away 02 Mar 1928 and he married, Clara Loeske, 14 Aug 1930.   Possibly it was Louis's wife, Clara, who took this snapshot.

Date

Circa 1933. Assuming that Mildred is about 13 years old. Possibly this was taken during the same visit the Three Brothers + Brother-in-Law picture was taken.

Columbus, Nebraska[2]
