Carole's Schmuhl Roots

Carole's mother, Regina, was a "Schmuhl", which is a good old German name. Rigina's brother, Carole's Uncle Louis, passed away recently and the Administrator of his estate invited family members to Louis' home on Saturday to select any personal items which they would like to have.

We went to Louis' home today and it was almost like a Schmuhl family reunion. Many Schmuhl family members were there and Carole had the opportunity to see and visit with relatives she sees only occasionally. Carole is pictured below in the left photo looking over old family pictures with her Aunt Jane and Aunt Dee. In the right photo, Carole is shown with her Aunt Iva.

















Carole had a great time with her relatives and we spent much of the day at Louis' home. Carole brought away many old family pictures, which I know she will cherish. We also picked up some DVD's and videos tapes of British comedies, which Carole goes "nuts" over. She will certainly have a good time watching those and, while she does, remembering her Uncle Louis.


After we left Louis' home, we drove to the Rice Cemetery in Elkhart to pay our respects to Carole's Grandmother and Grandfather Schmuhl.

This was a day Carole could review and reflect on her Schmuhl Roots.
