Katie,
Thanks for the info. It helps me to look in another direction.
I was glad to have helped you. Unfortunately, I don't know all that much about this family. I am related to them through Mary Ronke, my great grandaunt.
What I do know is this:
Mary was born in November of 1865 in Princeton, WI. Her parents were Andrew Ronke and Marianna Flemming (both came from Prussia but married in WI). She had 13 siblings. Most of the sisters went to Chicago and most of the brothers went to South Dakota. Mary and Charles (Carl) were married about 1890. I think Charles may have died before 1936 (Mrs. Mary Franke was mentioned in her brother's obit and not Mrs. Charles Franke).
A cousin had some old photos that we were trying to identify. Some of them were from Chicago studios, so we assume that they were of the sisters or their families.
