Photo Number 892

This is the last of the graduation photos.  This one is from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

From: Forrest Pommier

To: Uncle and Aunt

I will guess that this is a photo from the 1920’s.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Update from Iggy:

Forrest Pommier appears to be the son of Henry and Emma Pommier, born in 1900 in Minnesota, and living in Foothills, Burke, North Dakota during the 1910 US Census.  He died December 29, 1990 in California.
 He was married to Cornelia Neidomeyer.


His sister Rosa is featured in Photo Number 909.

This is a photo from the antique shop in Fergus Falls Minnesota.

It is not marked.  I bet the young Navy Soldier is leaving for a port and his mother wanted a photo of all her children before he left.  Gosh he looks young.   I will guess that this photo was taken in the 1940’s.

Thank you to all who served our country on this Memorial Day!

Gail Moore

Two photos of the same girl taken about ten years apart. In the same photography studio Meason in La Crosse, Wis.

I will guess the first one was taken about 1889 and the second one 1899.

This is a Cabinet Card from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.  It may go with yesterdays Cabinet Card.

The photographer is Calfee and Marsh of Missoula, Montana.   This is a beautiful cabinet card with a horse shoe and lots of floral embellishment.  This is most likely a Cabinet Card from the 1890’s…she looks young to me..perhaps sixteen?

This is a Cabinet Card from the Antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Ingalls is the photographer from Missoula Mont.  I get the impression that this fellow may have just come from the barber shop, since he looks all slicked up for this photo.

This must have been order number 433 knife 130.  That must be photographers lingo.

This may or may not be August T. Anderson Missoula Mont

In the 1890’s card stock with scalloped edges was very popular.

Aunt Meta Hanson 1929

Uncle Charles Hanson 1929

I wonder if they were married? or brother and sister and I wonder why they were not photographed together?

Hanson..Ha! like looking for a needle in a haystack..although the name Meta is not too common is it?

I think that the same person wrote on the Strunk photos that I featured yesterday.  Are these people and the Strunks related or is there some other connection?

These are photos of the Strunks. They are all snapshots purchased at an Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota

Melvin Florence and Adele Strunk.

Foster and Helene and her Mother Mrs. Ellen Strunk  April 1948

The top two photos went Full Circle 73 on July 17, 2013 

A few days ago I featured this photo. Photo Number 872

Helene and Larry Jo Janich.  Helene’s maiden name was Strunk.

Larry’s wife left me a message.
Thank you yes that is my husband Larry and his mother at Lotus Lake( Excelsior, Minnesota). That was the same year Larry was adopted. They lived on Carver Beach Road. Yes, it would be interesting to see more pictures of the Strunks. I thought I had seen all of them, but this picture I have never seen!
I would be happy to send all these photos Full Circle.  Just email me.  My email is off to the left in my profile.

This must be a foreign snapshot.  I purchased it at the antique shop in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

I named it foreign looking guy.  Was he an Archeologist?  Maybe.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 880

This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Bemidji Minnesota.

At first I thought it was a soldier..then I thought it was a hunter.  Now I think it is a CCC worker.  Civilian Conservation Corps was part of the New Deal Program of Franklin D. Roosevelt, it was a relief program from 1933 to 1942 that got young unemployed, unmarried men to work. They planted trees, built roads and bridges and worked in State Parks.

Photo Number 879

This is a snapshot from a garage sale.

A lady decorating a wedding cake in her home.  I enjoyed looking around in this photo.  I wonder if the tile was green or pink? Two nicely matched oak chairs are pushed up to the table.  This lady must prefer the cushioned plastic chair that came with the table.  Most likely this photo is from the 1950’s.

This is a snapshot from the Antique Shop in Duluth Minnesota.

Someone is off to work.  He looks like a Train Conductor to me.  This snapshot was taken in September of 1955.

Note the lawn chair, they are now coming back in style.

Photo Number 877

This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.  It is now Called Linda’s Recycled or something like that.  A gal that I went to school from the first grade on all the way through high school graduation owns it.  She almost closed it last year..she re opened under a new name.





I wonder if Stamey (Stanley? ) (Stainly?) ever made the big time?  Can you help me decipher his name?
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Perhaps his name is Stanley Tasker

Photo Number 876

I guess I forgot to say yesterday that the focus this week is people at work.
I purchased this photo at the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

I have no idea what place of business this could be..however my readers may know?
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)
Update from Iggy:
The machine in the front center is a band saw. The cutting table is about the man's waist height). The belts brought power down to the various tools.. there is a row of indistint, possibly drill presses or other "shop tools" to the left. 

As to what they are "building/manufacturing) there is little sign of a product.

Photo Number 875

Sometimes I buy photos for the content and sometimes for the mystery.

This photo was purchased at Buggy Wheel Antiques near Lake Park Minnesota.

The photographer was M.H. Sand of somethingville ND.  It turned out to be Buttzville ND.

Buttzville had 100 residents in 1920. In 1960 it had 15 residents. It seems to be almost a ghost town with only a few residents remaining today.

Although this photo is badly faded I think you get the idea..a womans work was never done.

The US Public Records Index:

Photo Number 871

This is a Cabinet Card from the Antique Shop in Erhard Minnesota.

Aunt Inger Lee

Sylvester Peter Wange was the photographer in Hawley Minnesota.  I couldn’t find out what years he was in business.

This may be a photo from around 1895.  I guess that date because of the shoulder wings on the woman’s dress.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Updates: 

From Crex:

 There is a Inger Lee (born 1866 in Norway) with 2 young daughters in Hawley village, Clay, Minnesota 1900.

From Iggy:

Inger Lee indeed has two daughters, Clara (b. Oct 1895) and Emma (b. Nov 1898) in the 1900 US Census, but also in the household are nephew Oscar Flater (b. Sep 1881) and niece Nellie Flater (b. Nov 1882).

In the 1930 US census, Clara (34 yo) and Emma (31 yo) are still single, living together and living in Los Angeles, California and both of them are working as Registered Nurses at a hospital.

Clara N Lee (b. Birth: 31 Oct 1895 in Minnesota, d. 7 Jul 1991 in Los Angeles)

Emma C Lee (b. 22 Nov 1898 in Minnesota, d. 22 May 1995 in Los Angeles) married Olav/Olaf/Olof Langeli, a carpenter sometime before 1937. Her death record says her mother's maiden name was Wold.

Update from Anonymous:

Inger Wold  Born 17 August 1866 to Erik Wold and Nicoline Nilsdatter Neraason.  She married Charley K Lee and had two children Clara and Emma.  Inger died in 1913.

 From  a relative: Charles Langeli, my second cousin, died in 1976.

Photo Number 870

This is a photo from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Grandma seems to be resting.  She has pin curls in her hair so perhaps she has a big date.  I will guess that this photo was taken sometime in the 1940’s or early 1950’s.

Photo Number 869

This is a Cabinet Card from the shop in Solway Minnesota.

Possibly this is a Grandmother or a favorite Aunt with two small children.  She looks like she just stepped out of the kitchen with her apron on to sit a spell and have her photo taken.

The photo is marked France Chicago.

This week we will look at some photos of Women/Mothers/Grandmothers and babies! Some will have names and some will not.
This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Jimmie Montgomery and his Mother Mrs. George Montgomery

This Cyko Postcard was used from 1904 to 1920.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Update from Iggy:
There is a likely possibility that this is Jimmie
James, born 1914 in North Dakota to George H. and Erma (Irma). If so his father died in 1917 and his mother in 1937..both are buried in Inkster, Grand Forks County, North Dakota.Grand Forks ND.

Photo Number 867

This is a CdV from the third Antique Shop in Dorset Minnesota. 

We know nothing about this gentleman.  I bought the photo because I liked his fat tie. I also noted that just the top button on his coat was fastened.  So now I can place that along with the fat tie and stand up collar in the early 1880’s.  This CdV also has rounded corners which points to the 1880’s and later.

W. E. Nelson was a photo artist in Lake City, Minnesota from 1882 to 1883.
