We're back from the Memorial Day Weekend festivities, where we visited family in Southern Indiana to celebrate the 90th birthday of her grandmother, Marilyn Freyling. We also celebrated a 10th birthday for our son, and caught up with all the cousins, aunts and uncles down on the family farm.
I managed to get copies of some old family photos during the trip. One below shows Marilyn's mother Helen holding her in 1929. Helen was probably 20 years old when this photo was taken.

Another shot of the extended family is below, showing Marilyn's grandmother
Emma Koehler Umbach, then Helen holding Marilyn, and her great-grandmother
Mary Elizabeth Schwarzlose Koehler. These photos were likely taken in 1929.

Luther and Helen, next to Helen's parents Fred C. and Emma Umbach.
