Unknown Pics #1 - Mann & Untiedt family

My eldest daughter is deep in to a project to digitize all my old photos. With that, of course, comes a lot of "Who is that". I've been a collector of old family pictures for many years now, but the Whose Who labels have been lost. This first batch of unknowns were stored with pictures of my Grandma, Bernice Mann Untiedt, when she was a teenage and young adult, so I suspect they are all from that side of the family. Help me properly name these pics by leaving me a comment below telling me who they are.


#1 The Easy One
I think this first one is my Uncle Howard Untiedt. But, I was second-guessing myself, so I need a confirm!


#2 Bernice or Beatrice?
Which sister is in this picture? Is it Bernice Mann Untiedt or Beatrice Mann Schrank?
Actually, if you can name everyone in the picture that would be great. I think it's either Paul Untiedt, Doug Schrank, Beatrice Mann Schrank, and Don Untiedt or Bob Schrank.

#3 Name that Barn
I suspect that if someone recognizes the barn in the background, they'll also be able to figure out the three figures captured in the shot below. 

#4 Who's that Girl?
I'm completely clueless on this one.


#5 Family Function
I'm probably going to embarrass myself by sharing my guesses on some of the people in this picture. 
Back row standing, left to right: Marcella Untiedt, Unknown, Harriet Untiedt, Lloyd Untiedt, Unknown, Bernice Mann Untiedt
Sitting, left to right: either Ann Scanlon Untiedt or Lavonne Untiedt Schardin with either Don Untiedt or Bob Schardin. (Can't believe I don't this one).



#6 A Late Arriver
Who is the man in this picture as well as the little boy?

Thanks in advance for your help on this little project!

    1. This picture I believe would have been taken in 1973. The occasion was the celebration of the 50'th Wedding Anniversary
      of John and Frieda Mann. It is an especially good picture of Grandpa John.

Peter August Kaski's journey to America

At the age of 26, Peter August Kaski brought our Kaski branch to the United States. He started the ship portion of his journey with a 40 hour trip on the SS Rollo from Gothenburg, Sweden to Hull, England.  Most emigrants would then take the Paragon Railway train between Hull and Liverpool. From Liverpool, Peter August Kaski then sailed for 10 days on the S.S. Aurania to New York, disembarking on April 24, 1903.  On the ship manifest below, Peter A. Kaski is listed on line 10. He declared having $12 in his pocket and was headed to Bryant, South Dakota. Originally, it was written that he was headed to meet his brother, J. Kaski, but that was then crossed out and replaced with the name Oskar Peterson of Deadwood, South Dakota. There is evidence that his brother, Jakob Krister Kaski was in Bryant by 1911, and is likely the brother referenced in this record. How he made his journey from New York to Bryant has, thus far, been lost to time, but we know he would end up in Bryant, Sout...

The 100 Club

There are some good genes out there, letting some of our ancestors achieve the epic age of 100. Cheers to these centenarians! Maternal line 105 years : L illian (Ahrendt) Galbreath lived to the age of 105. Lillian is a double first cousin 3 times removed who died in June 2004. A "double cousin" means she shares more than one set of grandparents; in her case, Lillian's grandparents were my 3x-great grandparents from both my Ahrendt & Weinreben and my Stroh & Mohr family lines. My software program doesn't display the above visual for both sets of grandparents when there is a double cousin, so below, I'm showing how Lillian's mother, Dorothea Stroh, is related to me. 101 years :   Elizabeth (Guhl) Ahrendt  joined our tree through her marriage to Albert B. Ahrendt, a first cousin three times removed.  100 years & 14 days : Anna Ida (Boldt) Albers  made the centenarian cut-off by 2 weeks. Those Ahrendts sure have some serious longevity.  Anna's an...

Unknown B&W album - likely Colorado

I had the pleasure of digitally archiving the records and pictures held by my Uncle Don Untiedt. The pictures included below were all together in a single album. However, I have no additional notes on who or where these pictures were taken.  Do you have any answers about the subject or location? In one picture there is a sign for "Dirty Woman Creek". When I Google that, there is such a place located in Colorado. However, if there were other "Dirty Women" creeks, it's reasonable that over time they have been changed to something more P.C. However, given the potential Colorado connection, I'm tagging these as part of the Untiedt line for now. [Update: since originally posting this, I was able to read the top of one building which is excerpted below. It reads "Pikes Peak Motor Co". Googling that name there is such a place located in Penrose, Colorado.] Do you recognize any of the buildings? Any of the children? Maybe the horses? Is this Penrose, Color...
