I don't know who they are, I found the photo behind a photo of my grandmother. the frame and pictures came from Plattsburg, Clinton county, Missouri. on the back of the photo I can barely see the word Lathrop which is also in Clinton county, Missouri. The 4 women look alike and are probably sisters and the clothing seems to be late 1800s. I hope some one recognizes them and lets me know their names

Orlin Aaron Wineman contracted the flu in 1918. His oldest daughter, Ethel Columbia Wineman, had come to check on him at noon. Shortly after returning home, Ethel was washing clothes with one of the first electric washing machines when a neighbor came over to tell her that her father died. Ethel was so shocked about the news that she nearly fainted and grabbed onto the machine for support. The washing machine delivered an electric shock to her and the baby. The baby died and was still born.

Juda Kristof, an immigrant proud of her heritage, was a Czechoslovakian immigrant living in Ilasco, Missouri. Her house was located next to the Slovak Lutheran Church which she helped to keep clean. She generally was seen in her native garb. So dedicated was she to her Slovak roots, that she was the last to abandon the Slovak section of Ilasco (1972), leaving only as the demolition was set to happen.

ILASCO, MO - John and Maria (Pucarar) Moga were a Romanian couple. John immigrated in 1903 to work for the Atlas Portland Cement Plant as a dynamite blaster. Maria followed him to Ilasco in 1906. They had four children while living in Ilasco:John, Pete, Saveta and Mary. John was a bilingual man, speaking six different languages, and only left Ilasco briefly in 1918 to serve his adopted country (naturalized in 1913) in World War I. The family was devastated when John, a twenty year veteran of the plant, died on October 12, 1920 as the result of a dynamite explosion.
