Notes |
This photograph album, dated April 1907–October 1910, was created by Clemens O. Mueller and includes photographs of his family at Lake Maxinkuckee, Brown County, and Harvard. Clemens Otto Mueller (1889-1963) was the son of John George Mueller (1860–1932) and Julia Wilhemine Schnull (1864–1926). Julia's sisters Emma and Nannie married into the Vonnegut family, linking the Schnull, Mueller, and Vonnegut families who were all prominent Indianapolis famlies of German heritage. These three families also owned cottages along the east shore of the lake and spent summers there starting in the 1880s. |
