MOWER COUNTY GENEALOGY: Pictures

 

Jack Arendt and Katie Lux



This picture is very intriguing to me because the woman is my grandmother, Katherine Lux. This picture was taken about 1895 when she was 18 or so. The man is NOT my grandfather. On the back of the picture it said "Jack (or Jacob) Arendt and Katie Lux". On the margin of the picture it said "Matt Schmidt and Katie Lux." I don't know if it's Matt Schmidt or if it's Jack Arendt. I know Matt Schmidt has descendants in the Rose Creek area still.

UPDATE: He has positively been identified by a great niece, and he is Jake Arndt, not Matt Schmidt.
