This appears to be Konrad and his brother. It's possible he went back to Germany in 1869 to take care of family business or perhaps to help his 60 year old uncle with his travel. It is also very possible that these are cousins, sons of Dirk. Dirk does not appear to have come to America, perhaps he died and money was sent to fetch his two sons to IL.
