Walter was 11 when this photo was taken. He was of German descent, with all four of his grandparents born in Germany. In 1900, Walter was living with his family at 13311 S Indiana Ave, South Chicago (Ward 34). His father was a shop laborer. By 1910 they had moved to 13811 Wentworth in Riverdale, where the family remained until at least 1920. Walter's father died early in 1910, but his mother lived until 1932.

Walter was still unmarried in 1920, and I have not found him in the 1930 census, although his brother Ralph was living in Riverdale in 1930 with a wife and 4 children. His sister Violet married Ralph Reeves and was living in 1930 with mother Dora (Doss) Gerloff. Walter died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 81.
