 Herman Shierholz |
 Madeline Florence (Shaw) Schierholz |
Domino Club, Lansing ca1860's
Aunt Mattie's "Domino Club." The picture probably was taken in the 1860's considering the 'hoop' skirts. Aunt Mattie is second female from the right. She would have been in her late teens or early 20's. The others in the picture are not identified.
Mattie was Madeline Florence (Shaw) Schierholz, wife of Herman Schierholz. Herman & Mattie (my g-g uncle & aunt) lived on a large Victorian house on Front Street in Lansing. Paddle Steamboats docked just across the street.
