At The latest it is from 1870. Well before your H.H. Matteson was born. Perhaps they were related? Do you have a photo of him?

He studied allopathic medicine. He married Mildred Whitlock in Minnesota and they moved to Bellingham, WA by circa 1910 when he became an editor at the Bellingham Herald newspaper, and was the secretary for the B'ham Chamber of Commerce. They moved to Olga, Orcas Island, and he wrote many short stories. They never had children. Don't know if this is your H.H. Matteson, if it were the photo would date a little later, perhaps. Maybe someone else who knows more about clothing and styles and photographs could narrow the date? Great picture. kolbyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170234426096653136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-53753125592365142452012-01-26T14:04:35.867-06:002012-01-26T14:04:35.867-06:00Hi Mark, search the Internet you never can tell..w...Hi Mark, search the Internet you never can tell..where did he live in Minnesota..and where is he buried? :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-37027286690165541852012-01-26T08:21:55.213-06:002012-01-26T08:21:55.213-06:00I'm looking for a H.H.

He was busted for embezzlement($165,000.00) and later moved his family to Minnesota. I found records that he died in 1947 in Mn. Any ideas of locating photos of him or his family?<br /><br />Thanks! <br /><br />Mark<br /><br />markhaafedt@msn.comMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238507386164839021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-65532687929471293412010-11-15T17:35:41.176-06:002010-11-15T17:35:41.176-06:00Perhaps he has come home emaciated from the Civil ...Perhaps he has come home emaciated from the Civil War and his clothes he left home are now too large.

Sigh.... Early CdVs were definitely cut by hand, even the cards. If you find some that are really wonky, they are likely to be among the earliest CdVs. <br /><br />I found Hans H Matteson, a cooper in Chicago, and also a couple of H Mattesons. All seem to be Nordic, either from Sweden, Norway or Denmark.<br /><br />NorkioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-16821174731607179042010-11-02T08:17:54.944-05:002010-11-02T08:17:54.944-05:00His clothes seem large for his frame, don't th...His clothes seem large for his frame, don't they?
