New Pictures
I was able to dig up some new pictures of Robert by going through old albums on my last visit to see Aunt Gerda. From the wooden structures it follows that it must have been in Milwaukee. Remember, after the great fire the structures in Chicago had to be of stone & we have seen pictures of Chicago Avenue, which looked quite different to this.
The two images below picture him sitting in his garden and in front of his house sometime between 1910 and 1915.
He seems quite chuffed and keen to show his relatives how well he is doing in America. Strange that did not take pictures after that ... after all, the family legend says he did well for himself.
