Notes[edit]

This appears to be a train station, most likely in Hoboken or Jersey City. Originally the person on the far right was thought to be Clara Freudenberg (1889-1959), but on April 28, 2020, Michael Dowd identified her as Anastasia Veronica Kahrar (1895-1979), his grandmother. I agree with him, she owned a hat store and always wore stylish hats. The identity of the second family has been a conundrum for decades.

Michael Dowd's identifications[edit]

April 29, 2020, 2:51 AM: "The woman on the far right is my my g-grandmother Anna. I would recognize her anywhere because my mother looked like her. During WWI Anna lived in the upper apartment of her aunt Margaret's home on Hudson Blvd while Joe was in Europe. Aunt Margaret owned the house. I actually have a transcript of my interview with Anna where she talked about that specifically. Joe was sick, she said, so couldn't come home right away from Europe. Maybe the Spanish Influenza? Aunt Margaret said she could live in the upstairs apartment so she and Joe would have a place when Joe came home. Margaret was married to Andrew O'Neil who was deceased by 1918. The girls would be her daughters Mary O'Neil (born in 1893) and Margaret O'Neil (born in 1902). So in 1918 Aunt Margaret was 49, Mary 25 and Margaret Jr 16. That seems to fit. Great find! Thanks."
