Dorothy Schrum & Alice (Lohmeier) Grau
Alice married Fred Grau - Fred was grandson of Gottlieb Grau and another relative to Carl Schrum.
I never know who I will/won't have a picture of and I was originally having a hard time finding a picture of Carl in my database.
I have a 1927 Zion confirmation picture
that has Karl Schrum, which fits the correct time-frame for Carl Schrum to be confirmed.
The 1927 picture is shown down below but he is from a different Schrum family Karl & Carl.
Also, if anyone has an ORIGINAL of this photo - please e-mail me - I'd like to scan it to replace this one that I scanned in 2000.
Arlen Schrum confirmed by e-mail this isn't his dad, Carl, in the confirmation picture down below - Carl Vernon Schrum was confirmed as an adult on June 12, 1938.
I'm leaving this 1927 photo with this feature to show the difficulties I have a lot of the time while working on old photos and trying to connect them to a family or individual -
especially when there similarities like between the 2 Carl/Karl individuals and there are no old timers or relatives living to ask...
