Beth Jones Yes Doug and I are Cousins. Arthur and Lydia (Baur) Striech had 5 girls. Doug's mom was the oldest of 5 girls (that picture you found and wondered who they were) and our mom Marie was the 4th daughter. Andrew Palmquist's grandma Elly was the 5th daughter. Andrew's daughter is named Lydia also. Nice to carry the family Biblical names forward.

This is from a memorial service for an Albert Koch, but gives you a sense of what the church looked like when Streich's attended. His memorial service was early August 1944. Not sure the full story, but guessing he died in combat.
