Laura’s baby photo is actually a detail blown up from this snapshot taken with her mother, Rosalia Adeline Tietz Gaede and her brother, Robert Gaede.
Robert (Bobby) and Laura were the last children born to Rosalia and Franz, and the only two born in Canada.
My mother’s family were Russian refugees during the Russian Revolution. Only the two youngest kids ~ Mom and her brother Bobby ~ were born in Canada. I think Bob (on the left) would have been about 4 years old in this photo.
