Brandt and Schumacher. B/W photo of Lizzie Brandt, Alma Schumacher, and an unknown woman. The St. Peter census lists two possible "Lizzie Brandts" in the census records. One is a daughter of John and Fredericka Brandt, and the other is a clerk for Theodore Knoll. The 1885 St. Peter census lists Alma Schumacher (age 14, born in Minnesota) as a daughter of Stephen Schumacher (age 69, born in Germany) and his wife, Amelia Schumacher (age 47, born in Germany). Alma Schumacher married William G. Laumann in Nicollet County. All three of the young women in this photo are wearing fancy bonnets or hats. Alma Schumacher married William Laumann (b. 6/25/1867, d. 1932) in St. Peter on 6/24/1897. They had four children, Gerold Laumann (b. 7/03/1898), Maurice Laumann (b. 10/01/1900), Virginia Laumann (b. 3/07/1904) and Wilma Anita Laumann (b. 4/08/1910)
