Story

This is a family portrait of my great-grandparents, John and Johanna (Plath) Brunken, on their golden wedding anniversary.

Date

1923.

Location

Columbus, Nebraska.

Notes

  1. Diane Lliteras, confirmed the identity of the individuals in the photograph.
  2. Diane Lliteras also noted that she has another version of this photo that has Edward in it. A photographer 'edited' the picture to put an image of Edward between Gus and William in the back row.
  3. This photograph scan is of a reproduction of a reproduction and is not the quality I would like. Possibly someone can provide me with a scan of the original portrait.
