Abstract:

Personal papers and photographs of La Crosse, Wis., residents, Fern (Stroeh) Unnasch (1917-1981) and her husband Ernest Unnasch (1918-1996). The bulk of the collection consists of black and white family photographs related to the Stroeh and Unnasch families which connects with the Heberlein, Krause, Ready, Schumacher, Schieche, Secor, and Smolek families.

Beside family images, other photographs include pictures of the Shelby Dairy truck, the Stroeh farm in the town of Shelby, a Shelby fire truck, the La Crosse Garment Workers (1938), Hamilton Homemakers, and Shelby Homemakers. Photographs of La Crosse, Wis., residences include 1020 So. 4th St., 1220 So. 4th St., and 223 No. 23rd St.

Additional materials include brief family trees; newspaper clippings (1918-2006); a scrapbook (1941-1942); photographs of friends; two milk/cream caps marked “Shelby Dairy” and “Joe Stroeh;” and an 1877 marriage certificate which appears to be written in the German language for Franz Dobbratz and Auguste Behnke.
