Note:
In the beginning, there were two photos in the Schubert collection. One of them was 
labeled "Mrs. James Griem" and the other "Mrs. Dennis Griem".
Since the women in these two photos looked identical (and I could never find any 
mention of a Dennis Griem), we concluded that these are likely photos of the same woman, 
namely Mrs. James Griem (nee Emma Weber).
Shari then received a response from a person reading the web site that Emma Weber had a 
twin sister. And, perhaps, these two photos were not of the same person but of twin sisters. 
This put a question in my mind.
I looked at Chilton for their birth records but could not find any. Birth records in 1862 
were nearly non-existent.
I also looked at the original glass negative for "Mrs. Dennis Griem". I looked at it long 
and hard - and I kept coming up with "Mrs. Dennis Griem". This was a MAJOR disappointment.
Many of these glass negative are enclosed within a manila sleeve. As I put the glass 
negative back into its sleeve, I noticed writing on the sleeve. The writing on the sleeve, 
in the clearest writing possible, proclaimed "Mrs. Charles Griem".
I am now confident that the photo once labeled "Mrs. Dennis Griem" is actually 
"Mrs. Charles Griem". (See next entry for Katherine (Weber) Griem)

Elkhart Lake—On the 11th of October we received the unexpected 
news that Mr. C. H. Griem, the well-known and beloved business 
man in this village, had died on the 10th of October in San 
Antonio, Texas.  Mr. Griem had been troubled for years with an 
illness of the larynx and as his condition worsened he decided 
to go south to get relief.  On the 21st of September he took 
leave of his children and friends.  His wife accompanied him.  
His brother from New Holstein accompanied him to his destination 
and had just left him last week because his condition seemed to 
be good.  The body is expected here on the 13th of October and 
the funeral will be held in New Holstein.  Our sympathy to the 
survivors.
