I don't know for sure who's who and where they are located in this photo, but my best guess would be that Herman Regenberg, Jr. is dead center in this photo.
This photo and the following information is courtesy of Alan Simdorn, Harlan, Iowa.
(Alan is a descendant of the Eberline Family).
"Herman and Charley Eberline were best friends. They enlisted in the Army and went to war together. Charley was an older brother of my grandfather, Earl Eberline. Earl’s wife was Lillie Roth Eberline. Charley and Herman went to Europe together where they fought in WWI. Charley suffered from what they called ‘shell shock”. He was never the same after he returned home from war. My mother, Ila Mae Eberline Simdorn, told stories of her Uncle Charley that were disturbing to her. She said that Charley suffered from nightmares and would only visit with Herman and other close family members. Charley would look at the corn fields and tell her that they were German soldiers coming to attack. Charley committed suicide by hanging himself in the barn on the farm place where he lived with his wife. They had no children." Charley was 45 years old when he died on July 25, 1941. Herman Regenberg, Jr. died from cancer in 1937 leaving behind his wife, Alma Schmidt Regenberg, and his 13 year old daughter, Ellen Mae Regenberg.
