Lanesboro Pictures
Page 9 - Faces of History

These photos are from the book Surrounded by Tragedy, the story of the first 40 years of Harold Launspach's life. He was the younger son of Harry and Helena Launspach, and younger brother to Clarence "Ike" Launspach. Harold lived in Lanesboro from 1905 until about 1918. Clarence lived in Lanesboro his entire life.

Harold Launspach, younger brother of Clarence (Ike) Launspach, is the young boy on the right (in shadow).
Others are unknown. Harold would have been close to age 12. He left school after completing 8th
grade to support himself. Details in book Surrounded by Tragedy available through Amazon.com.



When Harry Launspach and his second wife separated around 1922, they split the farm ground and Harry moved an old country school house in to a second building site for his new home leaving the home place to his former wife and new son Russell Launspach. Both Clarence and Harold Launspach had left home and were self-supporting by then.
