| File name: | resized_bluevelvet_p10=FMvS,ErnestHeppenheimer,his daughter.jpg |
| Annotation: | Blue Velvet Album p10. "Fred M. vom Saal, Ernest Heppenheimer, and his daughter." Note from Steve Stumpp: "Ernest did not marry until 1914 and I have no record of him having a daughter. He was the youngest of the six brothers, born in 1868. Judging by the relative ages of the people in the photo, F M vS looks to be about 6+, Ernest appears to be about 20+ and the girl appears to be about 12+. Therefore, I am going to guess that the photo was taken about 1890/91 and is Fred M vS, Ernest Heppenheimer and his niece, Christine Heppenheimer (b. 1879, daughter of Edward)." | |

| File name: | resized_bluevelvet_p25 backrow=X,ClaraFranke,Y,front=TillieHeppenheimer,OtillieFrankeRothenburg,LinaJvS.jpg |
| Annotation: | Blue Velvet Album p25. Notation beneath photo: back row center = Clara Franke, front row = Tillie Heppenheimer, Otillie Franke Rothenburg,Lina J vS.
Note from Steve Stumpp: The one on the front-left is my great grandmother, Mathilda (Rudolphy) Heppenheimer. The one on the front-right is your great grandmother, Lina J (Schaefer) vom Saal.
The two ladies in the middle are identified as Clara Franke in the back and Ottilie Franke "Rothenburg" in the front. Also, it is my assertion that the one rear-right bears a strong resemblance to Clara and Ottilie.
I have done some research on the Frankes, finding census reports and obituaries. Ottilie Franke was born about 1862. Clara was born about 1870 and died in 1942. Their sister Lydia was born in 1874 and died in 1964. I believe that the young lady on the rear-right is their sister Lydia.
Ottilie married Theodor H Rohdenburg/Rhodenberg in about 1880. They had a son named Walter. Theodor died in 1919. I cannot find an obituary for Ottilie. They also had a brother, Julius, who was born in 1868 and died in 1936; he was an architect.
The three girls were born in NYC to Charles and Ottilie Franke, German immigrants. Charles was a dyer and was born about 1828 and died in 1912. His wife, Ottilie, was born in about 1833 and died in 1922.
I still cannot find a clear connection between the Frankes and our family. | |
