Above is the clan gathered at their wedding. I would love to be able to identify everyone else, because my grandfather must be included. After all, he would have been a young man of 22.

June 1920 Marriage Record
William and Dora Wenkel Hohlfelder |
Notice, if you will, William's occupation as Dairyman. When August P. Wenkel was drafted in 1918 for World War I, he listed his occupation as a Milk Hauler for Bay Buttery. Perhaps these two young men were friends, and August introduced William to his older sister?
