Raymond Krythe and family

Laura Adalaide Simandl Krythe b. 5 July 1893 d. Dec. 1980. Married Ray Krythe 23 Sept 1923 This picture was taken in 1967. Grandma Krythe was our first house guest in February of 1968 in West Allis, Wisconsin. Tom picked her up in our little Austin Healy Sprite. We had pork roast. We ate on the card table that served as our kitchen table until we inherited her kitchen table when she had to move out of her home 2 years later.

Grandma Laura Krythe was so in love with Ray. She told me that she used to iron his socks. She also wrote notes on the boiled eggs she put in his lunch pail. (Can you imagine ironing socks) After Grandpa Krythe passed away in 1961 Tom, his Dad and Brothers took care of Grandma Krythe's yard work and her other needs.
Raymond John Krythe b: 6 June 1896. d: 3 Feb. 1961

Harriet Ann Krythe told me at least 20 years ago that the women in this picture are: Claska, Antoinette, Sadie, Gertie, Lucille and Hazel.

I'm not sure if the order is correct. What I do know is that:

Claska Ringenoldus Krythe is the mother of Raymond Krythe (Antoinettes husband and Harriets father) . Claska was born in 1858 in Holland and died 21 March 1939. While living in Holland my husband recalls that Claska saved someones life who fell through the ice into the water below . She received a certificate for that.

Antoinette Hyink is Raymond's first wife and the mother of Harriet. She was b: 6 Feb. 1894 d: 6 March 1921 (just 13 days after her only child was born). I'm pretty sure she is the second person in the picture.

Sadie is Ray's sister. B. 14 September 1881.
Lucille is another sister of Ray's. I don't know her birth date yet.

I am not sure who Gertie is. Fun Picture though!!

Sanderson Brothers Store in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Owned by Frederick and his brother William.

The brothers had also owned a store in Coquille, Oregon. Grandma Maysel loved to tell of the day the monthly supplies would come by ship from San Fransisco. The "brothers" would let their children fill the candy jars with fresh candy. The cousins were allowed to eat their fill on that day. Grandma said that she was so sick of candy she didn't really want anymore for a month!

During the time that Fred owned the store in Klamath Falls he also owned the city swimming pool. It was located at a spot where there was a hot spring. It was Grandma Maysels job to work there and also to launder the towels. I'm wondering if this is what started our families great love of swimming.

During this time (somewhere between 1995 - 1911) Fred served as the mayor of Klamath Falls. Grandma Maysel once told me that one of his main jobs was to accompany the County Dr. to the "red light" district monthly to administer penicillin shots to the women who worked there.
