Grandpa’s Siblings Redux

Several years ago we devoted several posts to Grandpa Chris’s brothers and sisters (see here and work your way forward). Those posts showed all of the individual photographs that we had at the time and culminated in a group photo of all the living children at the time of their father Peter P’s funeral.

Recently while browsing through the Heinrich Epp family book, Episodes of the Prairie Pioneers: Five Branches from the Family Tree of Heinrich Epp: Heinrich, Cornelius, Peter, Johann, Gerhard, I discovered that it contains a number of photographs that supplement nicely the photos that we earlier viewed.

Collected together on one page are seven of Peter P’s children with their spouses. The following page has an additional photograph with Henry and his wife Beatrice, as well as one with Anna Buller Warde (Grandpa’s youngest sister), Henry, and the two sisters who never married: Sara and Maria. (I will post the other photos later on.) In other words, we have new photographs of all of Peter P and Margaretha’s children except for their first son, who died after only eight days.

It is remarkable that Elsie Helen Epp collected all these photographs, and I can only wonder where they are now. If the wedding photo for Grandpa and Grandma looks familiar, congratulate yourself on your good memory. Buller Time posted it here exactly four years ago today.

If any reader has originals of these or any other family photographs, please contact me so we can talk about how to share them with the rest of the larger Buller family on the blog. In the meantime, I will be thinking about how to supplement the old posts with these new photos, so all the information and photographs we have for each person are available from a single spot.
