    Viola Schaumburg - Feb 1945
    Viola Schaumburg - Feb 1945
    This photograph was sent to me by Dan Kirkpatrick, descendant of the NY branch of the Chicago GELIS family. I believe it may be Viola (FREY) BROOKE SCHAUMBURG, whose son Walter BROOKE by her first marriage went to NY with his father in 1900 and grew up in NY. I am guessing that after August SCHAUMBURG's 1944 death, Viola may have been seeking contact with her son, who by then was living in Massachusetts.
