Photo Number 1935

This is a photo from the antique shop in Laporte Minnesota.  Dave is known as The Peddler.  He bought a whole box of photos at a church garage sale…I bought the whole box from him.

Unknown couple  Laporte Ant

The photographer was Solomon Friedman at Friedman Studio 240 – 242 Cedar Avenue Minneapolis Minn he was at that address from 1908 to 1915.

I wonder if this was a sample photo?  I also wonder if the photographer had three little girls? These three little girls will be in tomorrows photo also.

Unknown couple  Laporte Ant

The groom is wearing a short formal jacket with a white bow tie and a flower in his lapel. The bride wears a gown with an open neckline that even shows her ankles.  She wears a bridal bonnet with tendrils of vines and flowers.  She carries a very large bouquet  of roses that are tied with tulle.

The little girls all wear bows in their hair and dresses that look to be of a dropped waist style.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Solomon (called Samuel) Friedman

    In 1920 US Census, he is shown with
    Frieda Friedman 10
    Bessie Friedman 8
    Harold Friedman 3

    The city directory shows Friedman working at 242 Cedar Avenue in 1908 - 1922

    The couple later had another son, Jerome. I don't see any 3d daughter anywhere.

  2. In all the census records, Solomon and Sarah are listed as speaking Yiddish - one might assume this couple in the photo is Jewish?
