Friends of Hans Heinrich “Paul” Renck are pictured in Holyoke around 1915. Paul was born in Germany and married Elisabeth “Elise” (Kayser) Renck in Julesburg on Oct. 2, 1900. Their first two children, Walter and Clara, were born in Venango, Nebraska. Their last three children, Anna, Charles and Robert, were born in Holyoke. Walter, the oldest child, was killed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake when the family was visiting Elise’s parents. — Source: Phillips County Museum
