Mary Katherine Reichel, age two, and Herman Otto Reichel, age 9 months. Although the text pasted on the photo lists a date of 1899, that is a transcription error. The ages of the children match with the date of 1891.

Emma and Emil were engaged for about five years, and Emma taught school while waiting for Emil to finish his course of study at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. The marriage was witnessed by at least one of his fellow students, Herman Kellermann, who later married Emma’s sister Wilhelmina. The other witnesses were Adelbert Karstaedt and ? Hudtloff.
The marriage was conducted by Rev. Theodore Nickel, pastor of the Lutheran church in Shawano, Wisconsin. Like Emil, Theodore Nickel later “accepted a call” to serve as a minister in Australia.

This is a head shot of Elmer Cronce that is part of a family tree on Ancestry.com. It looks as if it is part of a larger family portrait — note the hand on his shoulder; I’m going to see if I can find out who contributed the head shot and who has the original family portrait.
In the meantime, something is better than nothing …

Milwaukee — (AP) A dead man came back to Milwaukee under custody of a United States marshal.
The man was Elmer Cronce, 62, of Shawano, Wis., and he died while enroute to Milwaukee in the custody of W. R. Phillips, deputy United States marshal.
Unable to furnish $1,000 bail when arrested on the charge of having moonshine liquor, Cronce was being brought to Milwaukee to await trial.
“He was in good spirits and was telling me of his hunting experiences up in the North woods,” Philips said. “Suddenly he doubled up and explained that he had a strange feeling. He tried to fight it off for a few minutes and then suddenly collapsed.”
