In 2019, I stopped to visit my Uncle Larry Andra. He had a number of photos there that I had not seen before. Two of them are below.

I am a descendant of John and Anna Wanner through their son George, John George Wanner Jr, or Johann Georg Wanner. I have written of George and Regina’s family. Their daughter Mary is my Great Grandmother. I have also written of George’s parents, my 3rd Great Grandparents. I am familiar with this family. I was intrigued by these photos, although not of high quality.

John passed away in 1922, so this photo obviously predates that. If this photo was roughly 1920, that puts George at 50, Charles at 49, Gottlob at 34, Jeff at 53, Fred at 39, and John at 75. Which could very well be the time frame.

With this photo is a photo I believe from the same occasion of the ladies of the family.

If we assume the same time frame as above, the photo is in 1920, this puts Mary Carter Wanner at 38, Wilhelmina at 33, Mary Wanner Wagstaff at 47, Regina at 51, Louisa at 41, Christine at 48, Rebecca at 28, and Anna at 71. Which, again seems to coincide pretty well.

To help those not related.

John & Anna Wanner – married in 1870.

George & Regina Wanner – married in 1898.

Charles & Christine Nuffer – married in 1894. Charles and Regina are siblings, who married siblings, Christine and George.

Mary & William Wagstaff – married in 1896. He is not in the pictures.

Louisa & Jeff Bodrero – married in 1898.

Fred & Mary Wanner – married in 1903.

Pauline and William Crossley – married in 1904. They are not present. She passed away in 1921 before her father in 1922. Perhaps this is when she is ill in 1921?

Gottlob & Rebecca Wanner – married in 1908.

Wilhelmina & Moses Bodrero – married in 1907. Moses and Jeffrey are brothers, so another set of siblings married siblings, Louisa and Wilhelmina! Moses is also not in the pictures.

Two died young, so 7 of the 10 children made it to this occasion, whatever and wherever it occurred.
