1914 Early Confirmation Class

 

 

The above photo was found in an old album in the Greenwood Public Library (1881 and Onward) and labeled "Father Pollack, Confirmation, Greenwood".  We know that Father Pollack officiated at least two weddings in 1914, so we assume this photo was taken around that time.  Please let us know if you can identify any of the people in this picture.  Jane Braun researched this photo and located a duplicate in on of the Church Anniversary booklets which identified most of the individuals.  That source lists the Priest as "Father Burkart" from Loyal.  Source:  Church Anniversary Book.

Responses

In the photo Edward D. Klinke looks to be about 10 yrs. old and Jennie Klinke Barton was 20 yrs. older--she appears to be about 30 yrs. old. This should help with dating it closer to the correct time. Edward born Dec. 11, 1894. The photo is ca. 1904.  Anne Holbrook (Mother Loraine G. Klinke Adams)
