Photo taken: Leigh, Colfax County, Nebraska, circa 1910
Purchased: Dec 2017 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show
Back in 2014, I bought a cluster of related family photos (members of the Franzen and Van Heufeln families) at a booth at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds, at their March Antique Show. I was successful in sending the lot of them back home to their family, but I was not keeping very good records back then, and am left with no record of where or to whom I shipped them.
Now it is December 2017 and I have visited the same booth at the same monthly Antique Show, and what do you know? - I have found another Van Heufeln.
This is Emma Van Heufeln, born 1895 in Nebraska.
Her mother, Zeide Ubben married Lumke Franzen in Germany, immigrated to America and had sons Heie, Ubbo and Frank Franzen. After her first husband died, Zeide married Henry Van Heufeln and moved her family from Illinois to Nebraska. There she had sons Herman, Edward and a daughter Emma.
Emma died at age 42 in 1929, in an Omaha hospital, and was survived by her brother Herman.
