Abeling brothers
Left: John Lewis Abeling (identified by Lana Abeling Williams)
Middle Left: Not confirmed, but believed to be Henry C Abeling, as he was known to have been blind for the last 25 years of his life.
Middle Right: Charles E. Abeling
Right: Unknown, but most likely was Robert R Abeling, who was the next to last Abeling son to die. Although Lewis was the last to die in 1934, Lana Abeling did not believe that this photo was of Lewis Abeling.
Date and location are unknown. Based on the people that are known - our only speculation is that this photo might have been taken when the oldest brother, William J Abeling, died in 1919. Assuming that perhaps brother Lewis did not make the funeral, then the these four men would have been the oldest of the remaining brothers. (of course, remember this is just speculation, nothing confirmed)
Special thanks to Joyce Robinson for submitting the photo.
