I am a day late posting about
Grandpa Falk's birthday since it came on a Monday and that is the day
I try to post a mystery photo, which I did yesterday.
Two years ago I wrote a post
about Julius' birthday, 4 Dec 2015. Here is a copy of that:
It was on December 4th, 1880, in
Avoca township, Iowa County, Wisconsin, when my maternal grandfather,
Julius Adolph Falk was born. Both of his parents, Ludwig Falk and
Anna Louisa (Boehm) Falk, were born in the Posen Province of Prussia.
They were German speaking Protestants who had immigrated to the
United States in 1858. Julius was their youngest son, with at least
11 older brothers and sisters and 4 older half-siblings. By 1905
Julius had moved to Linn County, Oregon, where he married Florence
Edna Bond in 1910. He continued to live there on his farm with his
family until his death in 1944.
With that post I included a
photo of him on an old tractor. I really enjoy this picture. Here it
is again.
Other posts that include him
were
the photo of the 6 brothers who
came to Oregon 23 Sep 2017,
a post about his automobile 28
Nov 2016
his wedding photo on 22 Oct
2014,
