Description	Christian Frederick Eberhardt, wife Paulina, and daughters Elsie and Emma. This the C. F. Eberhardt whose photographs make up a large portion of the Noel C. Dicks collection. He was a farm owner but took thousands of photos, from late 1890's till his death in 1918. At his death his belongings were basically kept in place in his home. Neither of his daughters married and they lived in the home with his widow, and were very active in community and church activities. At the death of the last daughter the household furnishings and personal property were sold at auction. Many antiques. Through arrangements with the executor of the estate anything of historical value was to remain in the town. Thus, local historian Noel C. Dicks was able to obtain the huge collection of photos and negatives in order to preserve them for future generations.
