  		Roscoe and Henrietta Gerlicher Photographer is Chas. A. Tenney, Winona, MN. Photo was taken before the brother, Stanley, was born in September of 1890 so it would probably be sometime in 1889 or early 1890. The children in this photograph were identified by Patricia Ann (Swoffer) Lund in December of 2018. Diane (Pylkas) Smith sent me a copy of this same picture in 2003. She said her grandmother, Mary Louise Staack, daughter of Carl E. and Augusta Staack, had written on the back of the photograph that these were Staack cousins.
  		Stanley, Roscoe, and Henrietta Gerlicher Photographer is C.E. Grove. He operated his studio at 117 West Third St. in Winona in 1892 so this might be the year the photograph was taken. The children in this photograph were identified by Patricia Ann (Swoffer) Lund in December of 2018

  From "The Gerlicher Story", p. 78 Henrietta was an Eastern Star member and organist in the Methodist Church for 40 years. She attended Teacher's College in Winona for tow years and then went another year for her kindergarten certificate. She taught in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, for the school years of 1909-1910, 1910-1911, but resigned in the middle of the term to marry.
