Peter & Ottiellie Japsen


This was identified for me by Margaret (Japsen) Kuhlman. It was taken at Spies, Market Street, Sandusky, Ohio. In this picture is Peter Japsen, his wife Ottiellie and their children Alma, Laura, Caroline, Mary/Marie & Norman.

Timeframe: Since Norman is the little tyke in the dress and he was born February, 1907 and he isn't very old at all I am going to say this was taken in 1907. That would make Ottiellie 34 years old, Alma would be 11, Caroline is 5, Laura would be nine, Peter would be 39 and Mary/Marie at the ripe old age of 2.

Where It Fits: Peter Lorenz Japsen is the son of Niels Carsten Japsen and Maria Ingeline Lorenzsen. Peter is the brother of Caroline Japsen Johannsen and therefore the uncle of William, Marie, Adele, August, John, Nelson, Lilly, Paul & Lorenz Johannsen and Christ, Nicholas, Marie, Christian, Herman & Lillian Christiansen and Freida & Margaret Japsen. Ottiellie is the daughter of Ferdinand & Caroline Laurens and sister to Richard Laurens and Amelia Steffenhager.
