Tillie Kramer & Family in Iowa

Taking a break from her constant cleaning chores, in this photo we see a young Tillie Kramer, future Mrs. John Slotemaker and future great-grandma of the Generation 5 Slotemaker Cousins, holding a broom. To the right of Tillie, among the group of many, is her mom and dad, great-great-grandparents of the Generation 5 Slotemaker Cousins, Mr. And Mrs. Hendrik Kramer and five of Tillie's sisters: Nellie, Ella, Tillie, Kate and Dora, and three brothers: Theodore, Martin and Henry Jr., Henry being the first Kramer born in America. . When asked why Tillie is holding a broom in this photo those who remember her said she was quite the mischievous sort, always finding something to rebel against. A trait it seems she may have passed on to future generations of Slotemakers.
