Johann (John) Lassow


Here is the famous and only photo of Johann Lassow that I just happened to find going through some of my father's family photos. It dates to approximately 1926-27 since the baby is Dorothy Lasso born in 1926.

I believe this is out front of 145 Peter St. in Kitchener which doesn't exist anymore as it was torn down to build the Schneider Creek. The house in the background has similar architectural features as 143 Peter St. which is still standing today.

Johann moved to 145 Peter St. sometime after 1912 when his wife, Carolina Augusta Fredericka died. Their daughter Emma Lassow married Edward Forler and this was their home.
