In 1891. Edward marries Johanna.  She was born in Illinois to German parents.  Edward is still baking at the same address with his father when his son, William Leonard Breitsprecher is born in 1894.  Somewhere in this timeframe, until the mid-1920's, it seems William F. Breitsprecher owns a house that Edward lives in and pays rent.  The last year I found William F. listed as a backer was 1912.  That is also the first year William Junior is listed as a clerk at a bank in the loop at Clark and Adams.  As William Senior is retiring from baking, Edward also stops being a baker.  

At first, he is listed as being a clerk (1920 census lists him as a receiving clerk for railroad supply.  or a laborer and finally as a machinist until he retires.  Curiously, Louise is not listed in either the 1910 or 1920 census as being part of the Breitsprecher household where her husband owns the home.  I've only seen her mentioned into he immigration record, the 1871 city directory, (obliquely), the 1880 census, and as the first record, and as the first burial in the family plot where her inscription is all in German.  This needs further investigation.

Finally, some time into eh early  to mid-1920's, Edward buys his own home, a Chicago bungalow at 2247 L Porte Avenue.  His father moves in with him.  2247 La Porte is farther north and west from Humboldt Park, a much more quit, residential, and les developed area of the city..

The Chicago Encyclopedia describes Humboldt Park in this era as being exotic, offering sidewalk music and soapbox political oratory where writers Saul Bellow, Nelson Algren, and Studs Terkel emerged.  Hardly the place where a man nearing retirement with his elderly father might want to reside.

Sometime after January, 1919, but before November 5, 1919, Pops marries Nana.  On January 7, 1920, they own a home with a mortgage at 2226 N Kostner Avenue.  Its a modest wood frame house.  The neighborhood is less built up than around Humboldt Park, but they6 are only a couple blocks from a busy industrial rail line of the Chicago and North Western.

On a generally fair day, with the temperature reaching into the seventies by noon, but w quickly falling ck to the fifties, in the afternoon, it is the day before Easter and a baby boy joins the Breitsprecher family in 1925.

In 1928 and 1929, dad's family is renting an apartment in a two flat at 5111 W Montana Street.  They are only two blocks away from Edward and Johanna at 2247 LaPorte.  The Milwaukee Road's Galewood Yard is clearly audible in the background.

But in 1930, the family owns their own home again at 3027 N. Menard Avenue.  It is a mile north an a mile west of 511 W. Montana Street.  The home is new for this part of the city is just now being developed.  There are still empty lots in the neighborhood and one can see open fields to the west and north.
