Gerhard and Anna (Nieland) Boes' Children – about 1897

These four were the eldest children of Gerhard and Anna Boes living at home after 1891. Their older brother, Henry, had died in 1885 and older sister, Elizabeth married in 1891.

The four siblings appear to be in their late teens and early 20s, estimated ages ranging in age from 17 to 23, which dates it to about 1897. There were three younger siblings at home when the photo was taken: Ida, Joseph and Catherine.
