This is the group that we have had before…The Princeton Group that visits the Detroit Lakes area and Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. I have a feeling that one or more of the gals might be from Detroit Lakes.
Jan 21, 1939 Chas, Ruby, Perc, Addle, Roy + Vic O’Salle Princeton Minn
I have a number of photos of Chas. If a relative of his comes along they would get a wonderful bunch of old photos.
Thanks for stopping by.
The misspelled and/or nick names make this one a toughie.

There is a Clarence Victor Ossell born 16 Jan 1916. He was living in Princeton in 1940. It's a long shot, but you never know!
ReplyDeleteNot a long shot. Read the history!

History
ReplyDeleteEstablished in 1958.
Ossell's retail history dates back 55 years when Louise and Vic Ossell, with her cousin Percy Johnson and Wife, Adel, opened Ossell & Johnson Department Store in 195. It carried everything small-town Minnesota needed. The Johnsons retired in 1979 and left ownership of the building and retail store to the Ossell Family, which has nurtured the business into a retail niche. Carol and Charlie are the current owners and Kelly Louise-Ossell Guptil, granddaughter to Vic and Louise, is the full time manager and buyer.
I sent the store an email, now we wait. Thanks MJM and Iggy:)
DeleteI have many photos of this same group of friends...so I hope someone out there wants some of the photos.
DeleteNow it seems we are looking for Percy Johnson, Adeline Johnson and Clarence Victor Ossell
I think Adeline is in Photo Number 1329 too.
ReplyDeleteYes and her group has many other photos on this blog. At last count I have 30 photos but not all have been on the blog.
