The full Reisenauer clan, consisting of four brothers, their mother, and their families, moved from Fort Scott Kansas to Colton WA in 1886. Carl Reisenauer (1897-1995) was born on his family's Colton farm, and, outside of a short military stint, lived his whole life in Colton working as a postman.

The collection primarily consists of family photographs and work photographs ca. 1900-1930 of Carl Reisenauer, a Colton, WA postman. Two military photographs are also included, one World War I at Washington State College, and one World War II at Camp Roberts, California.

The items are in five folders, with the military materials in their own folder and the other materials separated out by size and format.

This collection is open and available for research use.
