This picture was identified by Margaret (Japsen) Kuhlman as her Aunt Louise and Uncle Justus. Obviously Louise is the one in the middle, Justus is the man on the right. Now, the million dollar question is who on earth is that man on the left?
Timeframe: Justus died in 1937 so it was obviously taken before June of 1937. The stamp on the back narrows the dates from 1904 to the 1920's. In 1929, Justus would have been 67 and I would assume that to be the latest possible year. I have a picture taken pre-1919 with a dress very similar to the one Louise is wearing so if we say it was taken in 1919 that would make Louise, 58 and Justus, 57.
Where It Fits: Justus Christiansen is the son of Christian Christiansen. On October 18, 1885 he married Louise Japsen, the daughter of Niels Japsen & Maria Lorenzen. They are the parents of Christ (1886-1890), Nicholas, Marie Boger, Christian, Herman & Lillian Floro.
In History: Today Louise would be 149. Shh, you didn't hear this from me but today is also Kym's birthday. I love my life enough to not mention how old she will be turning. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!
