Confirmation of Ernst and Heinrich Heiden

Left to Right: Ernst "Ernest" Heiden and Heinrich "Henry" Heiden

If Henry was about 13 at this time, it would have been 1879, about 6 years after they came to America from Germany in 1873. Most likely, they took their Lutheran Catechism lessons in German.
