An Ebay purchase from Utica, New York. A photograph from the E. N. Molblo studio, which operated in Traverse City between 1893 and 1913. This is an unusual photo because of the presence of the dog.

The back of the photo has the surnames Krauss and Lautner written in Palmer-style handwriting.

On the 1900 census for Grand Traverse County there are three Kraus(e) girls. Pearl (b. 1885) and Ida (b. 1887) were the daughters of Charles Krause and Ida Vanderhoof. Ester (b. 1895) was the daughter of Wilhelm A. Krause and Wilhelmina (Minnie) Zander. Actually, now that I think about it, I am not sure that the smaller child is actually a girl.

There were five Lautner girls on the 1900 census- Julia (1883), Amelia (1897), Bertha (1884), Mabel (1893), and Rosa (1894).

Dog, Krauss, and Lautner.
