Postcard sent from Joseph Gulde to Anna Ayres from Europe

Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) served his country during and after World War One. This postcard confirms that he met his future wife, Anna Ayres (1901-1982), sometime before he left in 1918. Be sure to read his note as it is very funny.

Eusebius Gulde Poses with Daughter's Family

After the passing of his wife, Eusebius Gulde (1858-1954) lived for a brief time with his daughter Rosalia Gulde Risk (1882-1960) in Madison, Indiana near the Eggleston School. In this photo taken around 1944 he poses with daughter Rosalie, and her children and grandchildren, Joan Craver and Dorothy Lynn Craver. I am uncertain as to the name of the child in the photo.

Anna Gulde Poses with Egle Gulde-1917

Anna T. Gulde (1890-1918), the daughter of Eusebius (1858-1954) and Catherine Leineweber Gulde (1857-1943) poses with her sister-in-law Egle Gulde. Egle, a native of Belgium, was married to George Gulde (1891-1950). Anna and Egle seem to be having a fun time in these photos playing dress up. I do not know where these shots were taken. George and Egle eventually settled in Liberty, Indiana. Sadly, Anna died in the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918 one year after these photos were taken. Few photos exist of her and unfortunately, one of these is damaged so you can not see her face.

Anna T. Gulde--1917

Anna T. Gulde (1890-1918) was the fourth child of Eusebius (1858-1954) and Catherine Leineweber Gulde (1857-1943). Little is known about her life. She was born in Jefferson County and may have died in Henry County. Family lore reveals that she died during the Great Flu Epidemic of 1919. 25 percent of all American households were struck by the Influenza and many with deadly outcomes. In this photo, likely taken a year before her death, Anna (left) poses with her friend Myrtle Trischman.

Gulde Family Gathering in Madison, IN c.1935

Eusebius (1858-1954) and Catherine (seated) Leineweber Gulde (1858-1941) pose with two of their children at the North Madison home. Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) stands next to his sister Rosalie Gulde Risk (1882-1960). Rosalie and her family actually lived with the elder Guldes at 1708 Marshall Street in Madison. The photo was likely taken just a few years before Catherine's death. Unfortunately, the photo is damaged and it is not a good image of Rosalie.

Carl Gulde Poses with a Child c.1922

Carl Gulde (1898-1954) poses with perhaps a nephew around 1922. I do not know where the photo was taken.

Joe Gulde c. 1920

Joe Gulde (1896-1983) stands very formally next to this unidentified young lady. I do not know if he was courting her or if she was a family member. I also do not know where he might have been visiting.
