Johann BÄRNREUTHER, Miller and Burgermeister of Mengersdorf, lived to be 85. The husband of Margarete MÖRLEIN (see previous picture). I don't know who the child is. (see description) Update 2/3/12: found this in another album and thought it fits here perfectly. The "Mein Vater" is written by their daughter, Margaret Meyer. For consistency in presentation and organization I'd like to join the pictures of Margarete MÖRLEIN and this one of her husband, but if I do, I'll lose all the comments under her picture. Until technology catches up with me and I can move the metadata under the pictures, they'll have to stay separated.

The picture might be taken in the 1920's, 30's, or 40's. As bad as the picture is, Johann doesn't look like a very old man, so maybe he was around 50 (died in 1952) when the picture was taken, which would place the time-frame of this picture in the 1930's. Sounds about right. :o)

hmmm... if the picture was taken in the 30's.... then... this could have been taken by Konrad on a return visit by him and Margaret Meyer to Mengersdorf. If so, then it's also possible that the little girl in the picture is Brigitte (Meyer) Steiner. :o)

hmmm... That could be right as far as the time goes. There is another picture in one of the Germany (pre-1950) albums that shows Margaret in the 1920's as a young woman in the door frame with the wall and steps needing repair. This picture shows the wall and steps repaired, maybe even showing off the "new" downspouts. :oD Ah, yes, an imagination is a wonderful thing. ;)
