A young lady with a huge bow in her hair, adorned with a corsage, who is wearing gloves and holding a rolled up diploma. This is most likely a photo from around 1905 to 1910. Her pigeon breasted gown is very ornate.
There is a name on the back of the photo.
Alveda Carlson

Thanks LarsI
DeleteLooks like it might have been a graduation photo of some kind.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible bow! And her collar seems so high, too. Looks scratchy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see there was a name on the reverse, and a possible match already!
An obituary of what may have been her son, Merrill Judkins, for follow up:

Isn't it a great feeling when a rescued photograph makes real connections to someone's life and family? Good work.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for his( Merrils) son's address in Maple Grove Minnesota..so far no luck:(
