THE HILLMANN'S OF BROOKLYN

Chapter 9.

1915

Grandparents

One day, in approximately 1915, Herman and Rose Siegele took their daughter, Marian, to visit Rosie's family.  In the back row we have Herman Hillmann, Angelica Siegele (Rose's younger sister), Henry Siegele (Rose's brother), William Siegele (Rose's brother), then Rose herself. Rose is touching her mother, Henrietta Steffen Siegele, Marian Hillmann snuggles up to her Granny.

We are now leaving this day with Marian's Siegele grandparents and heading over to visit the Hillmanns.  We are going to start by picking up Herman's mother, Emma Sackmann Hillmann Schmidt.

If there's one thing Hillmanns love to do it's go to the beach. Here's Herman with his Mom, Emma and his step-father, Otto Schmidt. Herman's daughter, Marian, is in front of him, the other little girl is Ruth Sedlock, Herman's sister Louise's daughter.

These bating suits were made of wool and soft to the touch.
