Susie Umiker married Louis Schleicher

From an e-mail sent to me by Annette Allen:

"I have no real documentation, just family stories and pictures. I am attaching a picture of the Schleicher Family with my grandmother and aunt.


"In front are Susie and Louis Schleicher, behind them is Alice Schleicher and her brother, Albert William Schleicher. Holding on to Louis's arm, is my grandmother, Mae Zulauf. Next to Mae is Emil Schleicher. Next to Emil is my Aunt Velva Zulauf. The boy is Kevin Arnold Frenzel, Alice's son. My Aunt Velva is now 81, so I'm guessing the picture was taken when she was about 11, which would be around 1927.

"Alice Schleicher Frenzel and Emil Schleicher are the children of Louis and Susie Umiker Schleicher. Kevin Frenzel (the young boy in the photo) is the son of Alice and her husband Hans Reinhold Walter Frenzel. They are related to my grandmother, Mae Zulauf, through her husband, Albert Zulauf, who is my grandfather. Albert's mother was Anna Maria 'Mary' Wernli, who was the oldest daughter of Susanna Wernli, b 1839, who was the sister of Anna Maria 'Mary' Wernli, b 1832, who married Samuel Umiker, b 1834, who were the parents of Susanna 'Susie' Umiker Schleicher (1865-1946).

"Emil Louis Schleicher was born May 14, 1891 in Fort Townsend, Washington, and died in Seattle on September 28, 1958. He never married. Their next child, was named Arnold Schleicher. He was born March 28, 1893, in Castle Rock, and died August 29, 1894 in Castle Rock. Their third child was named Albert William Schleicher and was born July 3, 1896 in Castle Rock and died September 3, 1962 in Seattle. He married Anna Larsen, who died in 1938. Albert and Ann had four children: Lester, Audrey, Merton (1922-1940), and Eunice (1926-1997). I do not know if any of their children ever married. Susie and Louis Schleicher's fourth child was a girl, Alice Mary Schleicher, born February 4, 1902 in Castle Rock, and died December 24, 1990 in Seattle. Hans was born in Germany July 16, 1896, and died in a boating accident on July 5, 1949 in Seattle, Washington. They had one son Kevin Arnold Frenzel, who was born February 23, 1936 in Seattle.
"I am tied into this family in two ways. My father, James Wm Flintoft, was the son of Lena Wernli Flintoft, who was the youngest daughter of Susanna Wernli (the sister of Mary Wernli who married Samuel Umiker) My dad was very close to Alice and Emil as long as they were alive. Yes, my father was the cousin of my grandfather Albert Zulauf.
"The Wernli's immigrated in 1861. Jakob (1821-1905) located in Highland, Illinois. Anna Maria 'Mary' married Samuel Umiker and located the the Toutle area. Heinrich located in Texas; Susanna in Seattle. The others I haven't been able to trace.
