Nieman Children

This picture came to me labeled, as you can clearly see. At least I know exactly who is who.

Timeframe: There is a lot to use to narrow this image down. J.E. Duignan operated in Port Clinton, Ohio between 1888 & 1897. Bess, the youngest in this image, was born March, 1890 so obviously it is after that date. Cora, the next child, was born in December, 1894. Bess doesn't appear to be much older than two, possibly three but I feel that might be a stretch. Therefore I believe this was taken in 1892 or close thereto.

Where It Fits: "John, Ed, Frank, Bess, Clara and Lem" are the oldest six children of Fredrick H. Nieman & Phylea Hopfinger. They are the grandchildren of Fredrick Nieman & Christina Schriber and Charles Hopfinger & Friederika Richardson. That makes them the cousins of Merle Fritsche-Leutz.

In History: On the 9th of this month John Nieman turned 127. On the 11th of this month Frank Nieman turned 126 and last but not least, Clara Nieman Hasselbach turns 120 on the 30th. MARCH BABIES ARE AWESOME!
