For day two of Ten Days of Family I wanted to share this wedding portrait of Fritz Zeigler (my Great Great Uncle) and his wife Kate (maiden name Deckert- my Great Great Aunt). Fritz was German and he was a brother to Louis W. Zeigler (my Great Great Grandfather) who was my Great Grandmother Zeigler-Frisina's father. They were married and had their wedding portrait taken in Decatur, Illinois which is about 28 miles from Taylorville (my home town). I wish I knew what date this photo was taken.. I am definitely estimating from the clothing that it was around 1850. I love his hair! What era do you think it is? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
love, polly

His hair is pretty fantastic. I would go late 18th century because her dress is very Victorian but still poofy and showy like Civil War era clothing. :)
