Grandpa and his siblings

Over the past few weeks we have been introduced to Grandpa’s siblings one by one; today we see them all together. The occasion was a solemn one: the funeral for their father, Peter P Buller.

The service was held 18 July 1964 at the Bethesda Mennonite Church in Henderson, Nebraska. The photograph below was taken after the service in the fellowship hall. Starting in the back and moving from left to right we see Henry, Peter, Chris, and Klaas; in the front are Anna, Maria, Elizabeth, Sara, Katharina, and Benjamin. (As noted earlier, the first Peter and Margaretha both died before 1964.)

The composite below arranges the individual photos from the earlier posts around the photo above, to make the connections between the siblings in their (generally) younger days and their 1964 selves a bit clearer. For a larger version of the photo, see here.
