    2. Sharon, Please excuse me while I wipe the egg off my face: Embarrassed! I'm sorry to have misled you, but after double checking this morning, I learn that my Schweingruber married Henry HELD and not Henry HELMS. The pictures I have are of Bertha and Ida Schweingruber. As young sisters they came to America from Switzerland in 1887. I'm sure one of the pictures is of Bertha in her wedding dress and taken at the Fritz Studio in Waterloo. According to the 1900 census, she married Henry Held in 1895 and was divorced by 1910. Judging from the available census records, sisters Bertha and Ida remained in Waterloo where they raised Bertha's daughters, Lucille, Mildred, and Alma (Lena) Held. Several years ago, on some genealogy site, I believe I read that Mildred Held married a Lee. Nancy (Schwinegruber) Moore
