He married Anna Lengeling and had seven children, Clara, Lawrence, Joseph, Henry, Leo, Carl, and Harold.. A small infant girl died.Carl was killed in WWII.My Aunt Clara who is now turning 91 (TOMORROW!) is in Iowa but has done a lot of tracing of the family history here...Did you grow up in Iowa????I have two cousins who live here in Seattle area also- not planned.
