Brothers Karl, Robert (1868-1937) and Julius
Schmidt immigrated to Baltimore
between 1885 to 1888 from Latvia ("Russland").
They worked for
the B&O railroad until they had enough money
to send for their
mother Annie (Amelis) and sister Emilie.
After their mother died, the
three brothers went down the coastline to Lake
Charles, Louisana.
Later, Julius and Robert went to Galveston, Texas.
Both of these cabinet cards were made in Baltimore's Perkins Photo Studio.
