  • Hedwig, Walther, and Esther Hecht

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Hedwig, Walther, and Esther Hecht which was taken at the P. J. Lueders Studio in Frohna, Missouri.

The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the three children ranging in age from infant (the boy) to 6 years. Based on limited research,

I believe these are the children of Gotthilf Hecht and Lidia S. Jacobs.

Hedwig Lydia Hecht was b. 27 Oct 1897 in MO, she married Gottfried Gustave Schuessler and died 28 Jan 1972 in Perryville, MO and is said to be buried in Frohna, MO. Walter Hecht was b. 16 Sept 1903 and died in Perry County, MO in Dec 1980. The family can be traced through census records as follows:
