Who Were They?

Lost and forgotten photos from the past

Here we have the graduation photo of one Frances Guisinger VonKaenel, valedictorian for the class of 1915, although it is unknown what school she graduated from. This photo is in a sleeve that has been folded back on itself and then taped in place. The photographer was not fully named but the name began with a P.

    :) Believe it or not – there is a VonKaenel family living in Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri in 1915.

    I think this is Francis L Guisinger (b. 1894) daughter of William and Emma Guisinger living in Empire, Andrews County, Missouri in 1910.

    In the 1930 US Census, she is married to Hans VonKaenel, and has children: Rolfe male, age 13, Joyce age 11, Kenneth age 10, Jean female age 5, and Doris age 4 underfoot living near Sterling, Logan County, Colorado.
