Formal portrait of Anna and David Penner, a wealthy couple of Lindenau, Molotschna Colony, Ukraine. In 1891 they took Alida’s grandfather, Heinrich Unruh of Gnadental into their home as a foster child who could work for them. Heinrich was 11 years old at the time. His father had died two years earlier. His mother (Alida’s great-grandmother) and the three younger of Heinrich’s 10 siblings remained in Gnadental, some distance away. Heinrich probably did not see them often after coming to live with Anna and David Penner.

This photo is of the former home of Heinrich Willms in Halbstadt.
Note: photo is colored.

The Franz Martens yard (Wirtschaft) and house in Rückenau (Rueckenau) around 1900. Franz Martens is in the smaller carriage to the right and the engaged couple, Peter Martens and Helene Wieler, and Margarete Wieler, are in the larger carriage to the left. Helena Martens is standing at the gate and Anna Dueck is beside the smaller carriage.

Funeral of four men and one woman who were killed by the bandits. The woman died with the men because she threw himself in front of her father. Likely they were relatives of Olga’s family.

For this picture young Gerhard Neufeld Jr. pretends to be sitting in a boat, holding an oar. He was perhaps four years old here. See M2004E-7 for a later photo where he is with his whole family.

This is a photo of an open field where the crop is being harvested. Three persons in front of the first tractor are probably David Hofer and his wife and one of the American Mennonite Relief workers.
