The proposal I submitted to the Historical Society of New Mexico's program committee has been accepted. I will be making a presentation about the Huning family, German immigrants who came to New Mexico in the 1860s and established a mercantile trade that encompassed two southwestern states. Louis Huning, one of the original Huning brothers to come to New Mexico, settled in Los Lunas, and started a mercantile business that existed from the 1860s to the 1990s, the entire time under direct Huning family management. Louis is pictured here with his family, front row Louis, Lolita, Henrika (Henny) Busch Huning, Fred, and back row Louis Jr., and Emma. The photograph was taken in the 1890s.
I will make the presentation at the New Mexico State History Conference in Santa Fe next spring.
