Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of two hillsides, taken by John Lemberger. One hillside rises in the foreground at right, and the other rises behind it in the background at left. A small pile of rocks and planks sit at center on the hillside at right. Trees stand on the hillsides in the distance. Text from negative sleeve: 481. Germanville, Iowa. October 1900. I took mother east in August 1900 and left her at Burlington, Iowa, when I came h home. She staid[sic] a couple of months back there and went out to Germanville, where she was born. Uncle John (John Lemberger of Ottumwa, Iowa) went with her and took my camera which I had left with mother for purpose of taking a lot of pictures. Uncle John took these. They are pictures of various places that mother and Uncle John knew when they were children, and I do not know what they are now. Apparently scenes of the farm they lived on. Last year (1941) I corresponded with some children of Christine Lemberger who married Jacob Miller, and I think this is the Miller home in Germanville. See Lemberger genealogy in the Los Angeles Public Library for letters and descriptions of some of these. 7 films
