Charles Ludwig Treudt

Ancestor of Steve Adolphson

A tintype showing Charles shortly after the Civil War. A careful examination of the original shows he is wearing a long “sack” coat (less formal than a frock coat) with tape-bound edges, over what appears to be an everyday work shirt, without tie or cravat.
