Charles Henry and Emma’s first child, Lillie Amalia Ella Krieser was born to them on April 2, 1892 in Dupont, Wisconsin.  Lillie spelled her name “Lily” and shortened it to “Lil” as she grew older.

Lil (left) and her choral club pose as bathing beauties in a chorus line.  Look at those suits! They were the latest fashion rage then.

Lily was married to Cy Maes on 15 November 1915.  Lil was a tiny little woman, under 5 feet by several inches.
