    Someone has put me in contact with a Henne descendant who lives right there in New Braunfels and so the photos should be back to the Henne family before too long.

    I am trying to locate a living relative of the Henne family who owned the Henne Hardware Store of New Braunfels. I have some photos that I inherited from one of their neighbors who was my relative and I would like to return them to someone in the Henne family. I think they would mean so much more to them than to my family.

    I had forgotten that in my collection of goodies I also inherited an autograph book of Hedwig “Hattie” Jonas who was my grandfather’s sister. It is dated Dec. 25, 1909 and I just realized that it occurs about this same time frame. It is my guess that some of the children that signed her autograph book are also in these school photos. Here is a partial list of children whos names were deciferable: Brunno Kretzmier, Henry and James Ogletree, Bertha Hampe, Annie Bernstein, ? & Elsie Pfeuffer, Edwin & Nelson Kroesche, Ella & Lida Schaefer, Lillian Rausch; Emilie, Willie, and Ella Eweling; Ernest K. Gruene, Telka & Wanda Doehue, and Ella & Loni Jahns (twins). All of these children were around 8 to 12 years of age. Most of these I was able to find on the 1910 Cenus and are seemingly from the Goodwin area. THe Eweling children even signed the book Goodwin……so hopefully someone in these families might study these photos and recognize someone. I have been told that Hattie did not attend school but she was probably friends with the same children that her brothers were. My grandfather even signed her book. It is a cherished treasure.

    I have been visiting with Mr. Alton Rahe and he tells me that Hwy 46 used to be called the Blanco City Road. So in 1910 the census taker takes off on the southern part of Hwy 46, the Seguin Rd, heads toward Hunter, and ends back up at Gruene and then back to the Blanco Rd.
    So I am guessing that this photo may be from the Hortontown or Neighborsville community. If anyone knows anything about a school located in this area please respond.
