A Family at Ease
Image
William Fiebelkorn's family gathered in a living room. William Sr. is in a rocking chair with his hands clasped. His brother August Fiebelkorn is reading a magazine. William's wife Fredericke (Krause) is holding a small baby. The older couple is perhaps Fredericke's parents. The room has a stove, a phonograph and a basket of fruit on a table with a lamp. There is a pile of knitting in the right foreground.
Fiebelkorn, Fred
