My aunt Sandy (Sandra Guritz Walton) helped identify this pictured here and we're pretty confident this is it:
Adults in back: Rickie (Kalmbrunn) Temlitz, Walter Kalmbrunn, Maggie (Kalmbrunn) Guritz, Herman Guritz, Beatrice Kalmbrunn, Sanie Safgren Nagel, Christ Kalmbrunn.
Kids: Ruth Guritz (later Anderson), Florence Temlitz (later Beseke), Marie Guritz (later Swanson), Dorothy Temlitz (later Mikulina), (the other 2 little girls may be Walter’s, probably Jackie aka Jaqueline and Virginia)
Top row in #3 & 4 positions are my mom's parents, my grandparents Maggie & Herman Guritz. The man on the right is Maggie's dad, my great-grandfather Christ Kalmbrunn, born in 1864 in Germany on the island of Rugen. The kids below in #1 & 3 positions are their kids, my aunts Ruth & Marie. Marie was the oldest, and passed away in 2016 just shy of her 90th birthday. As of this writing, aunt Ruth is doing well at 94 years old.
Based on ages of girls and absence of my own mom who was born in 1931, we're guessing this was around 1930. My grandparents reportedly lost all their money when the banks closed, so they had hardship during the depression, but partly thanks to growing produce, they always had enough to eat.
