(Susan Thielen Sadler and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Thielen Nilles are sisters) (Christina Nilles Lenhart and Elizabeth Jane Nilles Schmalen are also sisters. They are daughters of Peter and Katherina Keppers Nilles).
The info on the Nilles sisters was given to me by Marge Frakes Smith.

Photo to the right-> Parents are Peter Thielen and Christina Keppers Thielen. The only 2 I am fairly certain  (but not 100%) about besides the parents are, the man standing in the middle is marked Tade, which should be Theodore, and the man seated is marked Peter A. The 4 girls I am not sure of. Peter and Christina's children are: Anthony, b.&d.1867; Anna, 1868-1910; Elizabeth "Lizzie", 1869-1964; Susan 1871-1937; Theodore, 1872-1922; Mathias, 1874-1957; Catherine, 1876-1949; Peter A., 1878-1946;- Nicholas, 1880-1909; Anna Magdalena "Lena", 1883-1962; Mattie, 1885-1885 (I think he died the same year); Christina, 1887-1952; Johnny, 1888-1888.
