In the 1950's Louise (Daniels) Junghans, wife of Walter, daughter-in-law of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans, worked at The Charm Shop in DeKalb, DeKalb county, Illinois. Here is a photo of Louise which was included in an advertisement for the 100th anniversary of DeKalb, Illinois. Louise is the second from the left in what appears to be a white blouse.

The sons of Carl Heinrich Junghans
I stumbled upon a comment left by Peggy Bailey (thank you Peggy) that confirmed a photo of Emil Yunghans.
Now that I have a photo of all the Junghans brothers that left Germany in the 1800's and came to America as either a Junghans or Yunghans, here they are:
Emil Yunghans, the eldest son of Christliebe Kuehn and Carl Heinrich Junghans.
Otto Heinrich was the third child, Paul Richard was the fourth (and last) child and Carl Frederick was the second child born to Christliebe Kuehn and Carl Heinrich Junghans.
The two eldest brothers, Emil Heinrich and Carl Frederick changed their last name to Yunghans from Junghans sometime after they left Germany for America. The two younger brothers, Otto Heinrich and Paul Richard opted to keep the "J".
Unfortunately I have yet to find a photo of the Yunghans/Junghans brothers together or of their parents.

Carl Junghans - World War II draft registration

Update
I haven't been very active in pursuing my research the past few years and have noticed that my entries on the Opera blog website are no longer available to view. I have deleted the previous link to the Opera blog. I don't recall which entries I had posted so there are a few that will most likely be forever lost.
With a little motivation I may post the backlog I'd accumulated since my Opera blog posts.

1920 US Census - Julius Yunghans
While searching for the 1940 US Census, I was able to track down a few previous census records I had been missing. Below is the 1920 US Census for Julius Yunghans.
Julius (line 92, second family from the the bottom) was living with wife Minnie (Kirsch) and their two children, Marie and Arthur in the city of Vincennes, Knox county, Indiana.
Julius was employed as a cigar maker, most likely working for his father, Emil Yunghans at the Yunghans Cigar factory. The occupation of daughter Marie is listed as "sales woman" at a five and dime store.

1930 US Census - Walter Junghans
Here is the 1930 US Census for my grandfather, Walter Junghans.
It appears Walter was living alone, even though it indicates "boarder". He was employed as an order clerk for a poultry and barn equipment company in Fort Atkinson, Jefferson county, Wisconsin.
I had trouble tracking down this census as it was indexed as "Walter Junghaus" rather than the correct spelling of Junghans.

1940 US Census - Paul Junghans
Below is the 1940 US Census for my great grandfather, Paul Junghans (line 42).
Paul was living at the home of his son, Paul Junghans Jr along with his daughter-in-law, Rosina (Billings) and their son Richard (line 41 above) in Fort Atkinson, Jefferson county, Wisconsin.
Paul Junghans Jr and Rosina are listed below (lines 39 & 40). It is difficult to make out, but appears Paul Jr was working as a sales engineer for Barn Equipment. Paul Sr had retired by 1940.
A legible, blank 1940 census form can be found here.

Yunghans cigars
Last year I posted about the cigar company owned by Emil Yunghans, the eldest brother of my great grandfather, Paul Richard Junghans.
Here are some photos of the cigar boxes, provided by Daniel Yunghans, the great great grandson of Emil.
Norman Yunghans, the grandson of Emil later used the box to store nuts and bolts.

Carl Yunghans immigration
I may have found the passenger list for Christliebe (Kuehn) and Carl Heinrich Junghans' second son, Carl Yunghans traveling from Bremen, Germany to New York City on the ship, Elbe.
There is a Carl Junghanz listed (2nd from the bottom) though Carl would have been 24 (not 26) at the time the ship arrived in New York on April 14, 1883.
While it's difficult to make out, the 1910 US Census indicates Carl immigrated in either 1882 or 1883.
