Louise (Daniels) Junghans

Here is a photograph of my grandmother, Louise (Daniels) married to Walter Junghans, the youngest son of Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans.
































I believe this photo was taken sometime in the 1950's, possibly early 1960's.

Walter Junghans - DeKalb, Illinois

Color photography eventually began to replace black and white after WW II.

Here is a photo of my grandfather, Walter Junghans in DeKalb, Illinois.   (I'm not sure of the horse's name).

This photo was taken June 1949.    As you can see, color photographs were a bit muted back then.

Mary Wright Junghans and Walter Junghans

This photo of my grandfather, Walter Junghans and his step-daughter must have been taken sometime in the mid-1940's after returning from the war.

My aunt, Mary Louise "Sue" Wright Junghans is on the left.

Walter Junghans - 1943

Here is a photo taken in Honolulu, Hawaii while my grandfather, Walter Junghans was serving in World War II.

This photo was taken June 18, 1943.     While my grandfather was serving during WW II, the rest of the family was living temporarily in Glendale, California at the home of Walter's mother-in-law Mabel (Cass) Emery Daniels Pearce.

Louise (Daniels) and Walter Junghans

Here is a photo of my grandparents, Louise (Daniels) and Walter Junghans taken sometime in the late 1930's or early 1940's in South Carolina.

Louise (Daniels) and Walter Junghans marriage

Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' youngest son, Walter (my grandfather) married Louise Daniels on September 4, 1937 in Crown Point, Indiana.

































This was the first marriage for my grandfather and the second marriage for my grandmother after her marriage to John Wright.

Walter Junghans - birth certificate

I had posted my grandfather, Walter Junghans' birth certificate a few months ago.

Here is an original copy printed in 1926 when my grandfather was 17.

Walter and Paul Junghans Jr.

Earlier, I had posted this photo of my grandfather, Walter Junghans and his older brother, Paul Junghans Jr taken around 1910, but my mother just sent me the original which is a better copy.

William Junghans - grave marker

William Paul Junghans was the first born child of Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans

William was born September 7, 1887 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  He passed away in March 1965 in Trempealeau, Wisconsin.

He was buried at the Greenwood Cemetery in a wooded area of Trempealeau.     Williams' wife Della (Phillips) died 9 years later.

Paul Junghans Jr - obituary

The 4th born son of Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans was the second of their 5 children to pass away.   (Emil Junghans died as an infant in 1890).

Paul's obituary appears below.

Paul was born August 9, 1895 in Milwaukee Wisconsin and died April 17, 1962 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

Paul is buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Atkinson, which I posted about earlier.

Paul Junghans Jr - Fort Atkinson home

Here is a photo of the Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin house Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' son, Paul lived in along with his first wife, Rosina Victoria (Billings).

Here is a Christmas card Paul drew of the house in 1959 while living with second wife, Sydna (Wilson).

Carl and Selma Junghans

Here is a photo of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' son, Carl with wife Selma (Frentzel), taken I believe in August 1962.

Carl, Selma, Della Junghans and family members

Here is a photo of Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' son, Carl and family.

From left to right:

Gary Becker, Carl,  Sharyn Becker, Carl's wife Selma (Frentzel), Della (Phillips) [wife of Carl's older brother, William Junghans] and Sheryl Becker.

(Gary and his twin sisters, were born to Marian (Junghans) and Alton Becker.)

This photo was taken August 1956.   Thanks to the good old days when processors printed the date of the photo.

Louise Junghans birthday

Here is a photo of my grandmother, Louise (Daniels) Junghans with her in-laws.

From left to right:

Louise, Sydna (Wilson),  husband Paul Junghans, Carl Junghans and wife Selma (Frentzel).

This had to have been taken by my grandfather, Walter Junghans (youngest brother of Paul and Carl) on Louise's birthday*, April 19, though I'm not sure of the year, probably sometime in the late 1950's.

*The birthday cake and gift that Louise is opening was the giveaway.

Carl and Selma Junghans newspaper article

Here is a newspaper article from November 26 1937 of the Jefferson County, Wisconsin newspaper with a bit of news about Selma (Frentzel), Carl Junghans and their son Lloyd.

Lloyd Jack Junghans - military service

Here is another photo of Lloyd Jack Junghans, son of Selma (Frentzel) and Carl Junghans.    This photo was taken several years earlier than the photos posted yesterday.    

I assume this was taken sometime in the 1930's or very early 1940's.

Carl, Selma and Lloyd Junghans

Here are a couple of photos of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' grandson, Lloyd in his military uniform, taken sometime probably in the late 1940's or early 1950's.


Here is Lloyd and his mother Selma (Frentzel).

Here is Lloyd and his father Carl Junghans.

Lloyd Jack Junghans

Here is a photo of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' grandson, Lloyd.





































I'm not sure when this photo was taken as he doesn't quite look old enough to be a senior in high school, but it was probably taken sometime in the mid-1920's.

 Lloyd was the only son of Selma (Frentzel) and Carl Junghans, (the second son born to Wilhelminia and Paul Junghans).

William Junghans children and grandchildren - about 1953

Jumping ahead a few years, here is a photo of Wilhelmina (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' son William along with a few members of his side of the family.































From left to right:

Kenneth, William, Margie, Della, and Dale.

Behind the door, Alton Becker (Marian's first husband).

In front, Sharyn Becker.

-Margie was the wife of Kenneth's brother, Harlow.
-Della was the wife of William.
-Dale, the son of Harlow and Margie.
-Sharyn, the daughter of Marian and Alton.

Based upon the age of Dale and Sharyn, this photo was probably taken around 1953.

Harlow Junghans - military service

Here is a photo of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' grandchild, Harlow Junghans in his military uniform during WW II.

I'm not sure when this photo was taken (probably around 1942).    Harlow would have been in his mid-20's.

Harlow was the second child born to Della (Phillips) and William Junghans.

William Jr, Harlow and Marian Junghans

Here is a photo of Wilhelminia (Schmidt) and Paul Richard Junghans' grandchildren, from left to right, William Jr, Harlow and Marian.

It looks like Marian is about 3 or 4 years old, so I would estimate this photo as having been taken in 1932 or 1933.

William was the third son born to Della (Phillips) and William Junghans, Harlow was the second son and Marian was their adopted daughter.
