Welcome To The Luer Family Journal
My friend on the left is named Buster. He was a part of our family for over 15 years and the best dog I ever had. You could see wisdom in his face as he would watch over the family and the family farm. He was like a mother hen to the newborn farm animals, caring for and protecting them. I never had to worry about where he was, he always seemed to be near and I just would call “dog“ and he would be there. He will always be part of our family, now watching over the Luer Family Journal.
Our family has built many web sites, some for family, but most for clients. Our main web site has been Thumptown.com named after an area in Tioga County, Pennsylvania where we live. The site has featured at one time or another, all of our endeavors with the web. My thinking is to use it as a hub, leading to our other projects, businesses, and interest.
JohnLuer.com – The Luer Family Journal was built with the idea of bringing together our families personal projects. My first interest on the web was to trace our family genealogy. We built Our Family History and I will be moving that site from Thumptown.com to JohnLuer.com. I am also interested in starting the Family Journal Blog and receiving feed back from visitors. I can imagine the Blog featuring some older items that need to be identified or commented on, or a building identified from a photo. This Blog is new to me and I am not sure where to go with it yet.
We thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the Luer Family Journal - John and Cherryl (Walko) Luer.

Corgi Herding Instincts

Photos of an unknown town and building.
Posted May 22nd, 2007 by JohnThis is a photo of a street that leads to a bulding (second photo). I have a few clues: Both women in front of the building are dressed in white - possibly nurses uniforms. I have pictures of My Grandmother and Great Grandmother in white uniforms, but no building. I have a 1900 census that shows my Great Grandmother worked at a Baptist Hospital in Chicago (seamstress). Could this be a suburb of Chicago in the early 1900's?
