LOHMANN














Donald Lohmann (another cousin of my dad’s from Zumbrota) and his wife Dorothy gave me this wonderful old photo.

On the right are Wilhelmina and Carl Lohmann, whom we have already met. To the left of them is Carl's brother Ferdinand and his wife Caroline (Mediger). To the left of them is Ferdinand and Caroline's daughter Augusta and her husband John Langsdorf. The couple standing in back is Edward and Mathilda (Langsdorf) Lohmann. Edward is the son of Carl and Wilhelmina, and Mathilda is the daughter of John and Augusta. That makes Edward and Mathilda not only married, but also first cousins-once-removed! The boys in front are Howard and Lester Lohmann, sons of Edward and Mathilda. Judging from the apparent ages of the two boys in front, I think it's safe to assume that this picture was taken in 1911.
