I just received these contributions from Dave Lillig in Oregon. Dave is a grandson of Nick. Nicholas R. Lillig, taken in front of his house 4214 N. Montana Ave, Portland, Oregon sometime in the late 1940's. He left Kansas City early on and was living in San Francisco with his sister Regina and brother John when the earthquake hit in 1906. Regina came back to Kansas City with John who was severely injured by a falling beam to the head. Nick moved on to Portland.
Here are some 1906 San Francisco Earthquake images.
Here's another photo. Only guessing, but this looks like it was taken around 1925.
from left to right as follows:
Richard Matthew Lillig [my dad probably age 14 or 15]
Robert Jefferson Lillig [my uncle Bob, probably age 11 or 12]
Mabel Elma Houston Lillig [my Grandmother in her 30's]
Everett Houston Lillig [my uncle Bud, probably age 8 or 9]
Nicholas Richard Lillig [my Grandfather, in his 50's]
Photo taken in front of the family house at 910 Montana Ave Portland, Oregon. It's still there but redesignated as 4214 N. Montana Ave.
