Johannes Einbaum (Eenbom) from Estonia

This photo which I found in an antique store in Estonia, ties into some of the previous photographs I’ve blogged about this year.

The man sitting in this photo was Johannes Einbaum, the husband of Therese Lucine Einbaum née Saapar, who was the sister of Amelia Annimäe née Saapar and Johannes Saapar, and the niece of August Saapar (click on the names to read my blogposts about them). 

In fact, I find Johannes Einbaum in Amelie’s wedding photo from 1929, together with his wife Therese:

I love to see the strangers in my found photos in different phases and ages in their lives. Johannes Einbaum (also Eenbom) was born on December 19th, 1890, in Paatna, Rakvere County. The two photos were taken perhaps some 10-15 years apart. I suppose he was in his early 20s in the photo with his friend, and almost 39 years old in the wedding photo of his sister-in-law.

I believe Johannes was a barber/hairdresser by profession. He seemed to have been passionate about his profession, his name keeps popping up in connection with representative associations for barbers and hairdressers in the 1920s and 1930s. 

He married Therese née Saapar in November 1923 in Rakvere.  I’m a little confused about Johannes' children. According to the profile set up for his wife Therese on Geni.com, she had two children Ruth Urbas née Einbaum (1931-2013)  and Tõnis Einbaum, probably named after the child’s paternal grandfather Tõnis Einbaum. They have been added to Johannes' Geni family tree as his stepchildren. There is also a picture of the family on Geni.com: 

Johannes passed away on November 12th, 1958, and 35 years later, Therese was buried next to him at the Rakvere City Cemetery. 

Johannes had three brothers: Jaan, Gustav and Aleksander, and two sisters: Liisa Ude née Einbaum, and Julie Pauliine Einbaum. One of the women in this photo was Julie “Juuli” Pauliine, but I don’t know which one:

Unfortunately, I also have no clue as to who the other man in Johannes’ photo was:
