August & Anna Johannsen

This picture was shared with me by Richard Budd. It was labeled as August Johannsen & Anna Steffens. THANK YOU RICH!

Timeframe: They were married October 1, 1918 at St. John Lutheran Church in Port Clinton, Ohio.

Where It Fits: August is the son of Julius Johannsen & Caroline Japsen. Anna is the daughter of Otto Steffens & Theresa Shilling.

Today In History: Today August Johannsen would have turned 120. Another birthday today is Merrill Rudes. . . he isn't 120. Unless you ask him before his coffee. :-) HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE MERRILL!

Four brothers

Today we have John Cornelius, Paul Georg, August Martin and Nelson Ludwig Johannsen. Judging by the background they are at Julius Johannsen & Caroline Japsen's house. Today Nelson would be 115 years old.

Timeframe: There is a very unique stamp on the back that places this picture in 1911. That would put John at roughly 19, Paul at about 11 (although I think he looks older), August at 21 and Nelson is 16.

Where It Fits: John, Paul, August & Nelson are the sons of Julius & Caroline Johannsen. They are the fathers of Norman, Alma, Ervin, Harold, Phyllis & Richard. They are the grandchildren of Wilhelm & Marie (Christiansen) Johannsen and Niels & Maria (Lorenzen) Japsen.
