Anthony Sadler's baby.  The only Anthony Sadler I have in my tree is Anthony A. Sadler, son of Peter Sadler and Margaret Michels. This baby is Cecile Marie Sadler, born 24 Mar. 1898 and she died 5 Dec. 1938. This photo was identified by a granddaughter-in-law JuDee Caquelin

Twins Christina and Margaret Thielen.

                                    Twin babies.
Peter A. and Barbara Thielen's first born twins, Christina and Margaret, b.10 July 1913. Sadly, Margaret only lived to be 6 months old. But Christina lived to be 80. Darling little babies.
 Is this a buddy or a relative of Pete's?
Pete Schlader, Jr. Wearing the belt buckle off to the side must have be the 'in' thing then. Pete was born in 1907 and he looks pretty young here. Larry (his son) said he thinks it was taken at Pete's in-laws, Alfred and Elma Siegel's house in Bigfork, MN.


Intense Guy said: Possibly a 1929 or 1930 Ford Model A Coupe. The Coupe had the hard top and a rumble seat.

Pete Schlader and the Model A.

 This is Pete Schlader Jr. I'm sure off enjoying the wilds of Minnesota's northland. Pete moved to Grand Rapids, Minnesota as a youngster along with his parents, Pete Sr. and Lena, and siblings, Catherine, Hanny, Nick and Milly somewhere between 1915 and 1917. In 1918 another child, Laurine came along and then the youngest, Joe, one year later.

I don't know for dead sure what kind of car this is - but it sure has classic lines and makes for a wonderful photo - I think it is a Ford Model A - they came in (only) black and were built between 1927–1931.

This photo of George, Matt and Clara Schlader was taken by McCally, Lisbon, ND. I haven't found a reference to the photographer yet.

Pete Schlader Sr. and Lena Thielen Schlader children

L-R: These are children of Pete Sr. and Anna "Lena" Thielen Schlader:  Pete Jr., Catherine Schlader Jackson, Laurine Schlader Jackson, Johanna "Hanny" Schlader Herschbach, Mildred "Milly" Schlader Matthews and Nick Schlader. I'm guessing this was taken sometime in the 1960's. Pete and Lena had one other son, Joe, who died at age 16, in 1936. Their mother, Lena, died in Oct.1962 and maybe it could have been around that time.
