The Joseph and Lesetta (Mincemeyer) Kleager Family
Once again: Picture taken about 1897, based on the guess that the child in the high chair is about a year old, and is known to be born in 1896. If taken in 1897, the ages of the people in the picture are about as follows.
Left to right: Joseph Kleager - Father (47), Edward Louis Kleager (9), George Jacob Kleager (3), Joseph William Kleager (19), Lesetta Mincemeyer Kleager - Mother (38), Frank August Kleager (1), Edward Mincemeyer - brother of Lesetta - (30), Anna Caroline Kleager (16), Josephine Caroline Kleager (13).
This is the professionally "stitched" picture of the separated two halves of the picture. For many, many years, one half was with "Eleanor" Sophie Drewel Kleager Weise, (my grandmother), then with me, while the right half was with LaRue Kleager Bryant.
The picture was taken in front of the family farm house about 2 miles west of Japan, Franklin County, Missouri.
