Christmas 1928  Phila Emma Bishop.
I have heard this name before..Bishop from North Dakota…they were very successful wealthy farmers.

This childs mother ( Grandmother?) was most likely Emma Strehlow Bishop and her father (Grandfather?) J R Bishop.

The photo yesterday may have been her grandfather. ( Great Grandfather)

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

  4. Thank you to CREX, as his/her info completes the puzzle I was trying to complete this morning. When I stumbled aacross Phila E. Ferguson this a.m., two things didn't match up-her mother's maiden name & her name when she married William Ferguson. CREX answered the 1st question, and I am going to go ahead and assume that Phila was married to someone by the last name Hedner before she married Wm. Ferguson. Everything else I found matched CREX's info. ~Abra
