I have an original Cabinet Card photograph of “Ernst Franke and Marie Baumann”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in Milwaukee, WI in about 1898-1900, and each of them looks to be in their 30s. Public Member Tree in Ancestry shows that they were married 18 Mar 1899, so this might have even been a wedding photo, although there is no formal gown.

In the 1900-1930 censuses for Oak Creek (Milwaukee Co.) WI, I found Ernst F. Franke and wife Marie M. Public Member Tree shows that Ernst was born 31 Jul 1862 Milwaukee and died Oak Creek, WI. Marie was born Jan 1868. In the 1880 census for Madison (Dane Co.) WI, I found Marie M. Baumann with her parents Edward L. and Carolina.
