Caroline Waterstradt Waller and Family

This photo was supplied by Becky Waller Hall. George Waller feels it was taken around 1909. The man in the top left is George Frederick Carl Waller, my great-grandfather on my father’s side. He would have been 16 in this photo. He was a talented painter and for example painted this watercolor in 1909 – George F. C. Waller Watercolor Painting

George was born in Illinois. His father, Carl, was born in Stade, Germany. Carl arrived in the US in 1881 at age 21. George was born 12 years later.
