The man on the far left is my Grandmother's brother and the maid of honor is my step-grandfather's sister. They were all native to Ely and except for the maid of honor, all lived in Ely until their death. My grandmother died about the time this photo was posted on this web site, 2009.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-88230320823975513502010-06-08T19:02:36.062-05:002010-06-08T19:02:36.062-05:00Yes, this is the 1940's!

He operated a small resort on Little Long Lake after he retired. We still own the property, and have fixed it up quite a bit. His great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild are enjoying his forethought and legacy!<br /><br />Brian Krause<br />Ann Arbor, MI<br />blcmk@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-42597971997721102912009-11-21T19:24:10.325-06:002009-11-21T19:24:10.325-06:00I love the ladies' shoes!!

I'm betting on the shoes! (but what goes around comes around.) Knowing how I organize things, I would think nothing of reusing folders. In fact, until now would never have thought of the problems it might cause people trying to date photos.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758275644964547751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-86144194022862778192009-11-16T15:10:55.937-06:002009-11-16T15:10:55.937-06:00I can see why the "Cyko Art Studio" went...I can see why the "Cyko Art Studio" went out of business.

The men look like brothers. I think this might have been taken after the reception. They all look a bit tipsy. <br />Connie, I wanted to thank you for your kind words on my blog post yesterday. You were the only person who recognized its meaning. Yes, there was a message of disappointment in it. It was just one of those days. I always appreciate your comments. Hope you and Far Guy have a wonderful weekend!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-150537930223882052009-11-14T11:45:44.733-06:002009-11-14T11:45:44.733-06:00Definitely agree it is appears 1940s.

I found a photo of a men's suit that has an almost identical lapel listed as 1940s; hairstyle of bride could span a longer era, I think, but the bridesmaid's hair definitely looks 40s. Women's shoes and suits appear to be 40s, as well. If it were a double wedding, I think both women are usually--perhaps not always--in the center, with a groom on either side. In my parents' wedding photo, my mom and her matron of honor sister are dressed seemingly identical--if I didn't know better, I would have assumed a double wedding (but my aunt was already married). <br /><br />Here is an idea on the photo folders--since it was wartime, perhaps they were saving money and reusing folders, or perhaps, Otto Hokkanen, the photographer from Ely, was still doing photography on the side, using his leftover folders from when he had a studio in the 1910s-1920s. He lived until 1968, so it is plausible. Maybe it is a family member. ~AbraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-27134840540571780122009-11-14T08:50:20.766-06:002009-11-14T08:50:20.766-06:00Could it be a double wedding?

The corsages are too much alike for one to be a matron of honor.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-85903024483769939332009-11-14T08:11:34.485-06:002009-11-14T08:11:34.485-06:00They look later than 1920 for sure.

I love the bride's jacket and the detail at the waist and those corsages are lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
