Walter
It all started with a photo from my cousin. It was labeled Walter Weber – 1912. So now I start thinking who is Walter, but I start looking at other photos he sent me and I forget about Walter. A couple of weeks later, while researching known relatives on Ancestry.com, I came across a census record where Walter is listed as a grandson living with one of my Great Grandmothers. I don't know a lot about Walter, he was born February 13, 1890, about a year before my Grandpa. In the next two census he was still living in Milwaukee, and had two totally different occupations, In 1910 Walter listed his occupation as a sheet metal worker, then in 1920 his occupation is listed as a druggist. This photo shows a young man reading or studying, if the date is correct he was about 22 years old. If you look closely at Walter, it appears he's wearing a wedding ring. Did he get married after the 1910 census? After 1920 I have not been able to find any information on him. Weber is a fairly common name, who did Walter come? Where did he live, did he stay in Milwaukee? Did he join a sister who moved to California?
