William Johannsen


This picture was identified for me by Betty Schmeising, the subject of this picture's daughter. Betty identified this as her father, William Johannsen. She says the beehives he is tending belong to Julius Johannsen, William's father. Thank you Betty!

Timeframe: Ha! Good question. Mens fashion didn't change much well. . . ever. Even if it did change dramatically you can't see enough of his clothing to date it. There is no stamp on the back. Assuming he is over the age of 20, it would be between 1905 & 1941.

Where It Fits: Betty is the daughter of William Johannsen & Ethel McMurray. William is the son of Julius Johannsen & Caroline Japsen. Ethel McMurray is the daughter of James & Mary McMurray.
