Vaupel Clothier – Freeport, Illinois, USA

Real photo postcard of the Vaupel Clothier on Galena Street in Freeport, Illinois during the 44th Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War Veterans) Encampment. You can see the word “Clothier” in white, above the marchers and “Vaupel” is barely visible. John Vaupel was the brother of my great-great grandmother, Christina Vaupel Blumenstiel, and my 3x great-uncle. #genealogy #familyhistory #freeportillinois #freeportil #falknerjarrell #vaupelgenealogy #vaupel #blumenstielgenealogy #blumenstiel #oldphotos #storefront #clothingstore #johnvaupel #johnvaupelclothier #advertising #vintageadvertising #gar #grandarmyoftherepublic #rppc #postcard #postcards #oldstore #oldstores #ancestors #ancestor #1900s #civilwarreenactment #civilwar #1910
