Help with info on unknown loudoun family

I have not found anyone named Gerat Rademaker or Rademacher.  I think the first name was probably Gerhard.

Thank you, Erato . I've not been able to find a Gerat Rademaker or Rademacher either. It is very possible the name (names) have been spelt wrong - the person who wrote on the card could have been unfamiliar with the correct spellings.

I'm a bit obsessed with these photos too, Lisa. I would love to be able to identify the veteran.

The girls do look similar - 1915 is maybe a lit earlier than I thought - but I'm no expert on dating photos.

I hadn't considered the house could be home to three different families. Thanks for drawing my attention to the three doors. Because of how the names were written on the reverse of the group photo- I am assuming the younger man is Gerat Radebaker, the older couple are Mr & Mrs Jones, and the woman far right is Mrs Huff. I have attached the reverse of the card to show you. The names are written  directly behind the image they relate to (I think)

A couple of quick clean ups

Thank you Mark Diamond, these are lovely, he looks so much more alive with a touch of colour.

You might be a person who could answer this question - is it possible someone could enhance the medals so that more detail can be seen? Or would the detail be pixelated?

For those who might be interested.
Here is a picture of the album and a glimpse at one of the pages inside.

I’m not obsessed with the photo, just the GAR reference.  Can’t seem to focus on more helpful suggestions. 

I agree, the names appear to be above the individuals.

Is there any chance the little girl (standing next to the little boy) in the photo you just posted is the same girl who is in the original photo?  Could the little boy also be the same?  The girl appears to be slightly taller in the first photo but it looks like the ground is sloped in the last photo which would account for the height difference.  Could the couple behind the little girl also be from the first photo?

Very nice work by the folks who have cleaned up the photos (earlier and now). As always, the results are amazing.

"three different families"

Maybe Rademaker, Jones and Huff?  Rademaker appears to be in his 40s? and there is no Mrs. Rademaker in the photos so maybe he was single.  If we could find a suitable Rademaker in the 1910 census with neighbors named Jones and Huff we could solve it.

Not a problem.

Pixellation is an issue, so an option could possibly be to fo a high res scan on the medal area.
