Unidentifed Photographs from Emma Staack's Albums
There were two heavy velvet covered albums that were in Hildred (Thurow) Wilson's possession when she died. It is assumed that she received this from her mother, Emma (Staack) Thurow. Hopefully, we can identify some of these pictures and moved them out of this album to other, identified picture albumes

Suspect that one of these individuals is the child of Mathias and Mary (Peterson) Staack. Because of the date taken, it could be either Gustavus (born 1855) or Charles/Carl (Born 1858) but Charles/Carl was living in St. Paul with his wife.

Unknown - Portrait of man and woman - 1885
Photographer is Chas. A. Tenney, Winona, MN.

This is probably a son and daughter-in-law of Mathias and Mary (Peterson) Staack. Because of the year it was taken, it might be their oldest son, Gustavas, who was born in 1855 which would make him 30 years old in the photograph. His wife, Sarah, was born in 1861 and she would have been 24 at the time the portrait was taken.

Photographer is Reinh. Goeldner, Coeslin.

Coeslin is now Kosalin, Poland, but was once part of Prussia in Western Pomerania. Kosalin is located east and very near the town that was once Colberg, Prussia (now Kolobrzeg, Poland), where Louis Thurow, husband of Emma Staack came from. This photograph may be of someone associated with the Thurow family rather than the Staack family which was from Holstein, farther west.
