Wilbert and Annie - may be their wedding picture. Well dressed couple!
So the story goes, Wilbert went out West in 1881 for the Gold Rush and ended up finding gold in the Yukon. He brought back the gold/money which helped to start up Eureka. Also, Wilbert may have been inspired by seeing how warm air came out of the ground/mines and then condensed into moisture in the cold...understanding convection was the key to Wilbert's refrigerator designs and Patents.
