Standing in back from left are sister, Laura, Dorothy and Bertha. Seated from the left are Robert, Clara and their father, "Will" Rasch. Their mother, Helen, had passed on ten years before this photo was taken.

This photo is said to have been taken in 1918. Robert, on the far left, is in his wedding suit and Bertha, who is standing in the back on the right, is wearing the dress she wore as the maid-of-honor in Robert and Elizabeth's wedding that May. In the fall of 1918, Bertha went to Grand Rapids to start her life's work as an elementary teacher in the Dominican Order of Sisters.

Photo provided by Mary [Rasch] Alt in 1997.
