This is a photo from Buggy Wheel Antiques.
The photographer was M L Moldrem of Elbow Lake Minnesota. He was in business 1914 to 1918, 1922 and 1926. I think this is most likely from the 1914 to 1918 time frame.
The girl with me is my sister Anna.
Hulda Lindstrom Brennin and Sister
Beautiful young ladies with high lace collars and brooches.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

My grandma had a sister named Hulda.
ReplyDeleteIt is a name you don't hear anymore!
What lovely ladies. I wonder if they used rags to roll those tight curls??
ReplyDeleteI sent a message to someone who had Hulda in a private family tree. Hulda had two sons. Jack died at age 58 and was single. Kenneth died in 1999 and I couldn't find any additional family info on him. I didn't look into Anna's family as I am short on time today. ~Abra
ReplyDeleteThank you for the e-mail. Hulda Augusta Lindstron Brennin is my great-aunt. Her husband, John Haley Brennin, is the brother of Grace Mahala Brennin Luckman, my grandmother. Appreciate receiving the photograph to add to my genealogy.

ReplyDeleteSo grateful you contacted my cousin, Hulda Brennin's great niece! She just forwarded the photo and your web site to me. Coincidentally, I visited the cemetery where John & Hulda Brennin are buried in MN this summer. It's great to know there are people out there caring for these old forgotten photos!
