Wesley Waldschmidt

Wesley Waldschmidt. He was born in Roberts in 1904, and not long after his parents, Henry and Sadie Waldschmidt, moved to California. I remember being told that he was a big baby and to pull him out the Dr. used forceps in his ears which destroyed his hearing.

Colteaux, Squires, Waldschmidt

From James Lossing:

Seeing on the blog the newspaper clipping of Wilfred Colteaux, I thought I would send these pictures of him in 1927 when their family was visiting Roberts people in California. I think the Colteaux family visited several times before they came to California to live for a while. 
In the long picture of the Roberts Reunion at Brookside Park, Wilfred is seated eighth from the left. His mother is seated third from the right and his sister seventh from the right. His father, John Colteaux is standing in the back fourth from the right. (Below)

The picture below must have been taken that same day because John is wearing the same clothes.  (Below)

The first picture below is with the Waldschmidt and Squires families.  Left to right Edna Colteaux behind Jeannette, Henry, Sadie, and Norman Waldschmidt in a column, Clara Vivian Squires, her parents Mae and Clarence (C. O.), Sarah Jane Ridge Squires (widow of Philip Squires), Wilfred and Glenn Squires.  Sadie Waldschmidt and Mae Squires are Wakelin sisters.

The second picture must have been takin in 1927 also.  It looks like another get together of Roberts people.  Wilfred is on the right in front, and his mother and sister are also sitting in front. Three of the Wakelin sisters are there: Genevieve Weaver, Sadie Waldschmidt, and Della Lossing.
