I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the BRAUER Family of Illinois. The first is identified as Helen BRAUER and was taken at the Clark Studio in Streator, IL. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Helen in her teens at the time. The second photograph is of Louise Karoline BRAUER of Aurora, IL, taken in June 1917 when Louise was 5 years old. The second photograph includes the inscription "taken in their front yard" on the bottom of the photograph with no studio name identified. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following census information regarding this family: 1910 census of Streator, IL: Emil BROWER, age 31, married 4 years, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1902, a Glassblower Helena BROWER, wife, age 22, married 4 years, 1 child/1 living, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1899 Edward BROWER, son, age 2, born IL 1920 census of Santa Monica, CA: Emil H. BRAUER, age 36, to USA 1904, born Germany, parents born Germany, a Car Repairman Helen BRAUER, wife, age 32, to USA 1899, born Austria, parents born Austria/Germany Edward BRAUER, son, age 12, born IL Louise BRAUER, dau, age 7, born IL When son Edward BRAUER died in Riverside Co. CA in 1967 at the age of 60 years his Mother's Maiden name was listed as INERT. I am hoping to locate someone from this BRAUER Family so that these beautiful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
