Lavery-Lillig Wedding Day

Charles William Lavery and Cecilia Marie Lillig were married 75 years ago on August 5, 1933. Here they are with her siblings, Fred Lillig and Frances "Tootsie" Lillig as best man and maid of honor. There are more photos from the wedding day here.

Altar boy Fred

This is a great photograph of Uncle Fred. You can almost see little wings attached to his back.

Cecilia and Fred

Cecilia Lillig on the left and younger brother Fred. This was no doubt taken at the same time as the previous photograph in 1913.

Three Generations

This is sometime in 1913. The women are left to right: Aunt Tillie Pittrich, Grandma Lizzie Lillig nee Pittrich, their mother Johanna Pittrich nee Braun. The children are Cecilia and Fred Lillig. Three generations in this photograph and their lifetimes span from 1841 to 1998. This would have been a reunion of sorts as Lizzie and Tillie were both living in Kansas City for several years by this time and their mother lived out her life in Lohman, Missouri. Johanna passed away less than two years later on January 1, 1915.

Kless Lillig

Kless Lillig later in life, probably in the 1930s.

Fred, Ted, Tootsie

Left to right: Fred, Ted, Tootsie. I estimate this was around 1920.

Lillig family

In back left to right: Lizzie, Cecilia, Ted. Front: Fred, Tootsie. Looks like the same date and location as the previous photograph.

Cecilia Lillig

This photo would be from the 1920s sometime. Cecilia Lillig is on the left and I do not know the identity of the other young woman nor do I know the location.
