My great-great-grandparents Fred and Emma Schubert in their wedding photo, taken April 13, 1888. Emma was born in Schleswig, Germany on October 7, 1863 and died on June 24, 1912; she was buried in Kiel, Wisconsin. Fred Schubert was born in Lesohwitz bei Goritz, Germany on November 21, 1852. He came to this country with his parents at age nine and settled in Sheboygan, Wisconsin where later he became a wagon maker. In 1880, however, he entered a partnership with his brother Paul Schubert and started a photo studio in Kiel, Chilton and New Holstein. He continued the partnership until the time of his death. They also went on to have six children. All my photos are those of the Schubert Bros. studio. View full size.

Not unlike Old Abe

Submitted by DoninVa on Sat, 09/19/2015 - 3:49pm.

Here's a Shorpy wedding photo curiosity. The eagle and the US flag suggest a specific connection with Wisconsin, other than as dusty props in a photographer's studio. A bald eagle, known as Old Abe, was the mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer during the Civil War. Did Wisconsin veterans frequent the studio and the eagle and flag were on hand for patriotic photos? Atop the Wisconsin monument at Vickburg National Military Park is an eagle. A carved eagle oversees the Wisconsin State Assembly. Following World War 1 the 101st Division was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves in Wisconsin and adopted an eagle's head, Old Abe, as it's shoulder insignia. Later to become the 101st Airborne Division, the eagle patch is still worn and the division is historically known as The Screaming Eagles. I was a member of the Division and wore the Screaming Eagle patch. Having an eagle and flag next to the bride and groom is still a curiosity, though.
