Karl August William “Charles” Raatz married Catherine Marie “Mary” Petersen June 2, 1908 in Verona, ND. There they began a happy life on the farm and later retired to the town of Verona. They were actively involved in their community and St. John’s Lutheran Church. The second photo was taken in 1918.

And that brings us to the wonderful siblings that brought us all together for these wonderful Raatz Reunions. Edith, Ardith, Marie, Shirley, James and Jeanette. Photo taken about 1936.

Here are a few photos of them in the early years. Can you figure out who is who? And where they are?
