Our newest “Eye on the Past” feature photo shows a charming little grocery store located about 1.5 miles west of Lake Michigan in Waukegan, Illinois.

Nina was a younger sister of my Grandmother Ruby (Treutel) Hanneman. Read more about it here: http://wp.me/p4FxQb-e0

It is the only known photograph showing six of the seven children of Christian and Amanda Hanneman, pioneers of Portage and Wood counties in Wisconsin. The undated photo was probably taken around 1915 at a family event. Left to right are: William Friedrich Johann Hanneman (1856-1939) Bertha Auguste Ernestine (Hanneman) Bartelt (1860-1945) Albert Friedrich O. Hanneman (1863-1932) Herman Charles Hanneman (1864-1945) Carl Friedrich Christian Hanneman (“Chas,” 1866-1932) Ernestine Wilhelmine Caroline (Hanneman) Timm (1870-1930)

Marvin and Mabel Treutel and family at their roadside root beer stand in Nekoosa, Wisconsin.
Young Ruby V. Treutel is in the front row right, leaning on her right hand and tilting her head to her left.
Judging by the dress, this must have been an important event.
One little girl has a Dixie Queen tobacco lunch pail.
Most of the men wore hats, so it is not easy to make identifications.
Much of the village of Vesper came out for the photo.
The second photo was taken outdoors at an entrance to the school. Carl is third from the left in the first row. At the time, the Hannemans lived on Baker Street in Grand Rapids, so the Howe School would have been the closest public school. But the building in the photo does not match exterior details of the Howe School, so it’s unclear where Carl spent his elementary school years.

Stevie Wilson and Laurni Lee Wilson made their own Christmas greeting in December 1942.
Siblings Donn G. Hanneman (1926-2014), Lavonne M. (Hanneman) Wellman (1937-1986) and David D. Hanneman (1933-2007), circa 1956.
This photograph from my Grandmother Ruby V. Hanneman shows the interior of the State Bank of Vesper in the village of Vesper, Wisconsin, circa 1912. Scrawled on the back of the photo in pencil is the following notation: “First Vesper Bank. Jones Cashier, Martin President, Oliver V-P.”

The Hanneman Archive 
Any information on a Lewis Bismarck Hanneman born 1868 from Ewing Nebraska ? He was my Great Grandfather.

I will check my records and see if I have anything related to Lewis. This is a different branch of the Hanneman tree, but I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Hello, we bought a house on 1231 oak st in Wisconsin Rapids. It was originally owned by the Hanneman family. I would love to learn about the history of our home and have been searching for the last 5 years. The house was built in 1904 and I know a Dorothy and Eva were the daughters of the original owner. I believe William and Mary?

Hi Jill,
I typed a reply to you here, but twice WordPress ate it before it got posted. Might be easier if you provide an email where I can send you the information I have on this Hanneman family. Thanks!
