Emil and Anna (Tadrick) Wittman


This is my husband's grandmother Anna, she was born May 14, 1906 in Missouri. Anna's family was from Czechoslovakia.  According to Anna's dress and hairstyle, this photo was probably taken sometime in the 1920's.

As you can see, Anna was a lovely young woman who won the heart of Emil Wittman Sr. and they married after Emil's service in WWI.

Anna and Emil Wittman(n) Sr. had two sons: Emil Jr. and Raymond (my father-in-law).
