The book itself was first published in 1892, and the author is Hans Buschbauer. The original publisher was Germania Press, one of apparently many German-language publishers in Milwaukee at that period.
Awesome! PA has some old school Germans, so I think this family is one of them.

There weren't pictures, so I couldn't even begin to guess what is was about.
