The picture shows the sign that says A. Dauer and has a boot on it.
Katherina Schmidt was deeply in love with him and wrote him letters which my mother passed on to me. They are written in the old German and were difficult to transcribe. He and Katherina came to Randolph County, IL and were married 22 Dec 1868.
It is not clear when or how he died but the picture of Katherina was taken in California so she went to live with her children there.
