At this time we are unable to distinguish the two eldest sons, William and Max. Would tradition dictate that William, the oldest child, stand behind his
father?
Who is depicted in the photographs located at the collars of the two girls, Martha and Freida?
Below are 10X magnifications of the collars of Martha and Freida, respectively. The images are certainly of male figures, but who would they be?
Would these be photographs of their father at a younger age? What did tradition dictate in this time period?

In the case of Martha, it is likely she was married at the time this picture was taken. The picture on her collar might be that of her
husband.
