Lena and her second husband Karl Kopp. He was the brother of her first husband, Franz Kopp. This is from the 1920s.
I have a couple of options for the photo here.
Jim Davies adds: Karl Kopp, my great grandfather, was the night watchman and janitor at what is now the VFW building. When it opened for business that morning in 1929 Karl was found unconscious and severely injured at the bottom of the elevator shaft. He died the next day at St. Mary’s Hospital in KCMO, his son, Joe, said at the time there were several doctor’s offices in the building and the narcotics and money was stolen from each of them. It was thought by Karl’s family that burglars had thrown him down the shaft to silence him. Joe said that the police wouldn’t investigate it because Karl was an immigrant, from out-of-state and had no money.
