Looking for information regarding Marbach Hermann Sons Lodge No 125. I have two old group pictures. One of 33 men and another of 15 women. Probably taken in early 1900s. Flag in background say Marbach Loge, No 125. I suspect it was located out Marbach Ln near Bracken. I would like to find any membership lists from the late 1890s and early 1990s. My GGF, Wilhelm Fenske, is in one of the pictures and I suspect more of my relatives are the pictures as well.

Thanks to Connie Krause for providing the following information. If any of your relatives are listed below, you might want to take a close look at the pictures as they may be in these photos. If you locate anyone you know, please post their name and number from the photo.
