UPDATE:  These folks have been claimed!  Someone who knows a relative of Mr. Gindorf recognized the names on this page and these people have gone home to someone who knows them!

Most of these people have a note on the back identifying them as "a neighbor" or something similar.  Possibly the family that had these decided to minimize confusion by getting rid of photos of people who weren't relatives.  The family may have been named Franke as some of the notes on the backs of these photos refer to "neighbors of Franke" or "lived with" the Franke family.  I digitally cropped the mattes on some of these to try to reduce file size.

•  Annie Dickman / Dickmeier.  A note on the back identifies her as "a negibor" (sic.).  The note in pencil spells her surname "Dickmeier" and the one in pen gives it as "Dickman".  This photo is on cardstock and is about 4 by 6 inches.  There is no photographer information on the photo.

   

  

  
  

•    Otto Gindorf.  The note on the back reads:  "Otto Gindorf.  He and his wife the riches(t) in Washington Co live at Wm Penn, maden (sic.) name Lillie".  The photographer is given as ? ? Winkelmann, Brenham, Texas.  The photo is on cardstock and measures about 4 1/4 by 7 inches.

•   Mrs. Lush.  A note in pencil on the back reads:  "Mrs. Lush - a neighbor of Franke".  This photo is on cardstock and is about 4 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches.  The photographer is identified as "Holland, Brenham, Tex."

•    Hennie Oefmann.  A note taped to the back reads:  "Hennie Mund Oefmann came from German(y) lived with papa and mama Franke".  The photographer's mark says "Walker, Brenham and Seguin".  The photo is on cardstock and measures about 4 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches and still has some "gilt" edging in places.

•    Henry Roer.  The notes on the back read:  "Henry Roer, a neighbor".  The photographer's mark on the front reads:  "Winkelmann, Brenham, Tex."  The photo is on cardstock and is about 4 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches.

•    Otto Roer, probably the brother of Henry above.  The note on the back only gives his name.  The photographer's mark on the front reads:  "Winkelmann, Brenham, Tex."  The photo is on cardstock and is about 4 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches.

•      Mr. and Mrs. Vicks.  I tried to improve the contrast a bit in the second image to make their faces show up better.  The note on the back reads:  "Mr + Mrs Vicks, a painter".  The photographer is listed as "Walker, (Bren)ham, Texas" (part of the word Brenham is torn off and missing).  The photo is on cardstock and measures about 4 1/4 by 6 12 inches.
