Katherine Voegelein: "Minnie sold 30 acres of land in order to keep her family together. Her brother, Charles, and his wife, Mary (Ed's sister so doubley related) built a house nearby. For three years the families lived in the country and were raised back and forth together. Each had 3 children of similar ages. Minnie had Fred, Ed, and Katherine. Charles and Mary had Clara, Carl and Alma.
"In December 1899 Minnie's sister-in-law, Amelia (married to August Weinert) died in Seattle, WA. leaving him with three small boys, agreed that she would move there and they would live in the parsonage raising their children together. Minnie became the keeper of the home. She felt so sorry for the baby and the small children. She had a soft spot in her heart for any baby at any time. She had to prolong her leaving Falls City as her youngest sister, Louise, was expecting her first child and it seemed only right that she be there for that blessed event. Minnie left for Washington in March 1900.
After being in Seattle, Minnie became very homesick for her mother and family in Nebraska. She took her family on the train for a visit. While at her sister Anna's, Ezra, her only son was mean to Frank who was about 2. Ezra teased and pulled his hair. This really irritated Katherine that anyone would hurt "her baby." She said she fell in love with Frank from the first time she saw him. She was 9 and he was 8 or 9 months old. She ran home from school to get that baby. When they were leaving from visiting Aunt Anna and Cousin Ezra, Aunt Anna gave Katherine a dollar bill because she had been so nice to Ezra." (Source Katherine Voegelein)
In 1901 August was moved to Tigardville, Oregon to be the Pastor there and Minnie agreed to continue on and to keep house for her brother and the boys. "In 1908, Christmas day, August surprised his sister Minnie by marrying Marie Fosberg on 25 December 1908 without any notice. The family were completely taken by surprise." (Source: Beth Weinert, Mark: Emma Scholl and Emil Hornschuch were married the same day. Kent: I'm sure the marriage was planned but it still surprised Minnie that her brother was to be wed which left her to figure out how she was going to support herself and her three children.)When August re-married she was no longer needed in the home and at sometime she opened a boarding house. She lived for a time near daughter, Katherine and also with son Fred family. She was a hard working woman and was always ready to help someone in need. She passed away on the 28th of February in 1946. Edward Voegelein is buried in the Zion Cemetery in Falls City, NE. The message on his tombstone reads:
But now he is dead, (can I bring him back again?)
I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me

Both August Weinert Jr. and his sister Minnie (Weinert) Voegelein lost their spouses while their families were young. The two decided to combine their families. They lived in a parsonage for a period of time. This may be that home. Note the large building next door that appears to be a church. As some of the Scholl and Weinert family moved from Nebraska to Portland they stayed with family members when they arrived in Portland. This may be why Emma is in the picture. Or she may have come to help with the children."
