1918 circa, Java, Dutch East Indies, a portrait of my father-in-law's parental family. My (late) father-in-law, Marinus Wennekes, is the boy in sailor suit, who is sitting prominently in the middle in front. He was born in 1912 in Magelang, Java, Dutch Indies. He is surrounded by his parents and siblings. The father, my wife's grandfather, was born in Tiel, The Netherlands, the rest were all born in the Dutch Indies. The father died during the war in the Dutch Indies, the rest of the family eventually moved out to The Netherlands after the emergence of Indonesia, when they were forced to choose Nationality: either Dutch or Indonesian.

Although he passed away in 2000, June 30, 2009, is my late father's 100th birthday. This studio portrait of him and his dog Clover was taken in 1912. He was born in the little logging town of Clatskanie, Oregon, and seems to have inherited his father's innate love of and deep abilities with dogs and horses, even though his dad died only shortly after this photo was taken, from an injury suffered in a logging accident. I've been thinking about sharing some of my old family photos with Shorpy viewers for a long time, and my dad's centenary finally got me going. 100 CandlesHappy birthday, Will's dad!

My great-grandparents. Leonard and Esther (Smith) Wogatske. Esther died in 1926, at the age of 32, from complications following child birth. They had 3 daughters, 1 son (died before first birthday), and one still born boy. This is from a 1.5" print badly damaged by mildew, and recently painstakingly restored. Circa 1912. View full size. CandidWhat a great picture! Very candid, which seems a bit unusual for the time. I'd love to see a picture of my grandparents (much later) like this, but even in the 50s, most of the photos are of them "still" or posed in some way. I love the look on Esther's face.

Long Pine, Nebraska Shoeshop

Posted by weezysmith - 08/22/2014 - 6:58pm -

This is my great-grandfather John Crabtree, last seen in the Bonesteel photo. After living in several locations, John and Ida moved to Long Pine, Nebraska, where John had an up-to-date shoe repair shop from about 1912 to 1921. He then moved his equipment to his home, also in Long Pine. Great-Grandpa had polio when he was around six (1861) that left his right leg paralyzed. The story is that John learned shoemaking so he could make specialty shoes to fit himself and others. In Long Pine (according to his daughter Myrtie), John was known for how perfectly he made shoes. Workmen on the Railroad (including the conductor) brought him shoes to work on from all along the line, because he did such good work. View full size. Neat pairsI love the way cobblers always keep shoes together in neat pairs (unless they're working on one or the other of the shoes, of course). Perhaps this would seem to be a no-brainer, since it's obvious the shoemaker would want to maintain order in his shop, but I still find it immensely comforting to see the shoes together and never all higgledy-piggledy the way you might find them in someone's foyer. Also, I can't help noticing the cracked plaster and exposed lath in the ceiling. There's a cool air that blows behind the lath, and my scaredy-cat imagination fears it as a portal to the creepy, hidden parts of a house. But I do understand that it would be difficult for a man with a paralyzed leg to fix something like that. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

As far as I can tell these are the Coburn Bros. from Portsmouth, Ohio. I found a few references to them but unfortunately they’re all OCR text; for example, from the Portsmouth Daily Times dated Oct. 30, 1922: The Purina Mills guarantees that you will gel mom fgB or your tnonny btck, when you feed Purina Cbowa u directed. Phone us. SCHICKEN CHOWDER COBURN BROS. Portsmouth, Ohio Phone 745. Scanned from the original 4.25 x 2.75 inch snapshot. View full size. At the Store with the Checkerboard SignI found over 800 ads placed by Coburn Bros. from the first on February 6, 1912 (for Fairchild's Flour) to the last placed on October 18, 1935 (for New Timothy Seed). On January 1, 1936 Ramey's Feed Stores of Wheelersburg began advertising as the "Seccessors to Coburn Bros., Portsmouth." There are also a handful of articles which indicate that the business was started sometime before 1909. They bought out a rival feed company early in 1925 (Horr Bros.), and expanded into the old Wheelersburg Milling Company building with a branch plant in that city. In the spring of 1927 they opened a third location in Lucasville, and the next year another in Minford. Within a few years the last two locations were dropped from their advertising. News items included such tidbits as: October 1909 - Oscar Coburn Jr. was operated upon for fistula, and by the 1st of November was reported to soon be back at his post at "Coburn Bros., the Kendall avenue millers." July 1911 - "A team of horses belonging to Coburn Bros. went down" on East Gallis Street, as automobile tires picked up oil from the freshly oiled Gallia Pike and deposited it on the paved street, making it as "slippery as glass." May 1915 - Complaints were made of a foul water pond in back of the Coburn feed mill ("said to be full of dead animals and rotten corn cobs"). October 1916 - Thieves broke into office of the flouring mill by "jimmying" a back window. They completely ransacked the place and broke open two locked desks, but nothing was taken. "The safe was unlocked and always is." May 1927 - Fire swept through Wheelersburg, destroying much of the town, including the Coburn Bros. mill. Within 30 days construction began on a fireproof building to replace the old Coburn frame structure September 1927 - A small fire broke out in a cabin near the Portsmouth mill and "Employees of the CBM and outsiders used water and chemicals from the mill to extinguish the blaze before the firemen...arrived upon the scene." The ad below—from page three of the October 30, 1922 edition of The Portsmouth Daily Times—is the same from which the quote in the caption is taken. Click on the image for a larger version.

Millie, Tillie, Olga, Winnie, Marie, & Alvina Kruger. There were nine sisters total, but just these six showing off their handiwork. Best guess for date is 1912. Alvina on the far right was known as the hair stylist of the family and most likely did all of her sisters. They were from Minnesota. She was my wife's Grandmother and moved to western Nebraska shortly after this photo and started a family. Born 1890, died in 1964. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Yosemite National Park, c. 1912. Here is another view of the Wawona Tree, the subject of tterrace's Ex-Tourist Attraction. It was taken fifty years prior to tterrace's photo, scarcely six years after the park was created, although the passage through the tree was cut in 1881, some 31 years earlier.

Lemon H. Wiley, band leader and principal musician of the 77th Regiment, Illinois Infantry (M539 ROLL 98), Aug. 15, 1862. He was promoted to Principal Musician June 29, 1864, Elmwood, IL (CdV). From "Peoria City and County, Illinois: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement, Volume 2" by James Montgomery Rice, Pub. S. J. Clarke, 1912. LEMON HILL WILEY There are many interesting incidents in the life record of Lemon Hill Wiley covering a long experience as a soldier of the Civil war, as a musician in connection with bands and orchestras and later as a political leader, in which connection he has done important public service. He was born in Carmichaels, Greene County, Pennsylvania, April 17, 1844. His father, also a native of that place, was a blacksmith and wagon maker by trade. In early life he was elected justice of the peace and thereafter to the end of his days at each regular election was the candidate of both the Whig and democratic parties. He became widely known as Squire Wiley and his record, uniformly characterized by justice and equity, won him the high commendation of the public. He died in 1882 and in the same decade his wife, who bore the maiden name of -May Jackson, passed away. She was bom in Greene County, near Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, and their children were Jackson, William, Lemon H., Elizabeth, Margaret, Mardelia and two who died in infancy. Lemon H. Wiley attended the country schools, in which he acquainted himself with the usual branches of learning that constituted the public-school curriculum. He was too much of a musician, however, to make a good blacksmith, although he entered his father’s shop and attempted to learn the trade. He would whistle while he was pounding the hot iron and the nails which he was attempting to draw, for so the process was termed, would grow cold. At length his father said: “You are no blacksmith. I will make of you a musician." Nothing could have better suited the lad and for years his developing musical talent kept him in a foremost position among musical leaders of this and other states ...

Advance Bottling Works, ABC brand Ginger Ale, Lemon, Strawberry, Grape and other fruit-flavored Soft Drinks, 311-313 Warner Avenue, Peoria, Illinois, circa 1915. From Peoria City and County, Illinois: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement, Volume 2, by James Montgomery Rice, 1912: "William Dorey is at the head of one of the well known productive industries of Peoria — The Advance Bottling Works, manufacturers and bottlers of soft drinks. His life record had its beginning on the 17th of October, 1871, Peoria being his native city. He was left an orphan by the death of his parents when only six months old and was adopted by a family that reared him. His youthful days were passed in this city and he attended the public schools, thus acquiring his education. He afterward engaged in driving a team and later became a street car conductor. He turned from this to enter the ice business and subsequently he engaged in dealing in coal. His next venture was in the feed business and at one time he dealt in gasoline and oil but sold out in that line to engage in the liquor trade, in which he continued in Peoria for six years, then in the manufacture and bottling of soft drinks at No. 313 Warner Avenue."
