Photo Number 1939

He is wearing a suit and she is wearing a dress with a slightly dropped waist.  The dress is a light color.  They are both wearing flower corsages and she is holding something covered in tulle…perhaps with a few flowers.  I can see his wedding band but not hers.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. I think Find A Grave Memorial# 65447021 and Find A Grave Memorial# 27865261 are them. One memorial shows the family and the other has an extensive obituary (Bertha lived to be 103!)

  2. In the morning I will mail out a copy of this blog to Gary in Minnesota. I believe he is a grandson of Cap and Berthas. His Mom was Lena one of Casper and Bertha's children.
