Although the roofline and the placement of the windows are very similar to the original front part of my grandparents' house, I am pretty sure this is not their house. The second-storey window in front is a slightly different shape and there is an entire front-porch that is not present in the early photos of the house and of which there is no trace now of ever having existed. (See the modern picture at the bottom of the page and also the other older photo of the house here.) My father thinks this may be a relative's house in Wisconsin. Jim Puppe thinks it may be Art Redmann's place. (Art's brother Carl married one of my grandfather's sisters and lived not too far from my grandparent's place.) Probably it is now impossible to ever find out for sure whose home this was.

For reference, here is the present-day (2001) appearance of the front of my grandparents' house, now occupied only by their son Vernie (Werner).
