This photo is of my great-grandfather, Rudolf Wilhelm Meyer, his wife Elise, and their children Rudolph, Anna, and Mollie. It was taken in 1885, right about the time they traveled from Germany to America.

The next photo is of Hermann Meyer, Jr, his wife Caroline and their children. Judging from the ages of the children, this photo was taken around 1893.

My great-grandmother Louise Caroline Kreft, and her brothers. It was taken around 1878, in Nashville, Illinois. I believe the seated brother is August Kreft, and the one on the far left is William Kreft.

This is a terrific photo of the Rudolph Bohnenkamp farm in Friestatt, Missouri. Rupolph is in the middle of the shot, his son Fred is by the barn, and if you look closely, you can see his wife Elise (Meyer) Bohnenkamp on the front porch. Notice the mules hitched to the turnstile, and the belt running up into the barn....probably to turn a millstone of some sort. Elsie Meyer Bohnenkamp passed away in 1898, so this photo was taken prior to that time. I was lucky enough to visit this farm in April, 2001. Although the house is no longer there, the old barn on the left is still being used.

This is my Great-Uncle Loyd Myers on "Open Box" in 1931. He left Oklahoma in the 1930s looking for work and wound up in Billings, Montana. He said the Rodeo paid him $15 to ride this saddle bronc, and $2.50 for each bull he rode. He managed to collect $25....a small fortune in the Depression. He sent $15 home to his parents, and my grandmother Dessie (his little sister) remembers them using some of the money to buy her a pair of shoes.
