Photo Number 1208

This is a photograph from the antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota.

Anderson’s Studio in Milnor N. D. was the photographer.  His full name was Haldor (Walter) Anderson, from what I could gather he came to American from Norway in about 1870 and he lived in Minnesota a short time before moving to Milnor ND.  He apparently operated a Photo Studio for many years. I have seen these long bookmark type photos of his before.  He seemed to like them.

Sadly we have no idea who the little boy is.  Someone who lived near Milnor ND in the 1920’s or 1930’s.  The child is posed near an old ice cream parlor stool/table and he is holding some kind of toy.  He wears a suit that is sailor inspired.

Full Circle 70

The phone rang one evening and a gal asked for me.  It was Jackie in this photo.

Photo Number 1191

Jackie lives in Albert Lea Minnesota now.  Iggy found an address for her, the copy of the blog was returned to me but the post office had one of those yellow tags with a new address, so I re mailed it.  A few days later the phone rang.  Jackie is a lovely lady, she will be 81 years old on May 2nd and used to live in Casper Wyoming, her son still lives there with her grandchildren.  Her son is in Law Enforcement.

About the photo:  She said that it was taken in the 1948/1949 school year when she was a Junior.  She went to high school at Freeborn and the girls were known as the “Hartland Sirens.”  She was not a cheerleader her senior year.  The other women in the photo were her friends, Jeanie lives in New Richland Minnesota, Gloria lives in Minneapolis, and the “me” is Elloyce who was a year older and just happens to be Jackie’s Aunt.  They had a quick phone conversation about this photo, Elloyce was anxious to see it.  Jackie is sure that this is her own handwriting on the back of the photo..but she doesn’t remember why she wrote + me for Elloyce.

She is a lovely lady..we had an ever so nice visit!  It is always nice to return a photo to people who truly appreciate the effort!

This is a Real Photo Postcard from the Tin Ceiling in Park Rapids Minnesota.

Photo by Hausman of a darling little girl in a flowered dress with a big bow in her hair.

The postcard is an AZO with squares in the corner which dates it 1925 to 1940.   Sadly there is no identification on the photo.

Photo Number 1206

This is a photo from the antique shop near Lake Park Minnesota.

Vernon Portraits was the photographer in Glenwood Minnesota.

I imagine these little girls having red hair.  They are a cute as they can be in their homemade dresses that are worn with heavy stockings.

Vernon Studio was in business during the 1940’s in Glenwood.  The portrait  folder is very art deco.

This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

I wonder what happened?  Was she born with just one arm?

The children are Clayton Felton and Elvera Felton .  The photo was taken In Mishawaka Ind. by C. F. Kaylor  and was sent to Miss Katie Shuber So. Bend RFD 6 Ind. Box 66

This is an AZO postcard  that we can date from 1904 to 1918.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Update from Iggy:
The 1910 US census shows Clayton E Felton (age 8) living with his parents George A and Emma in Madison, St. Joseph county, Indiana along with sister "Alvera" (age 4).
Clayton is listed as a school teacher and later principal in South Bend, Indiana.
He married M. Mae, and is buried  next to his parents.

Sister Elvera (30 Apr 1905 - 10 Dec 2001), married a George Marker and they are buried in nearby Woodland, St. Joseph County, Indiana. 

The 1940 US Census shows they had a daughter named Jennifer (b. circa 1932)

Elvera's daughter, Jennifer Marker, married Milton E. Shaul (2 Oct 1924 - 13 Mar 1990) and had a family that is still living in South Bend area.

Photo Number 1202

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

Whitesides of Ironwood Mich was the photographer.

This young man looks like he is going on a trip in his caped overcoat and leather driving gloves. His cap seems to be some kind of variation of the newsboy cap. The band going around the cap is different.

Photo Number 1201

This week we will look at some photos of children..

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

William R. Miller was at 415, 417 and 419 Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis from 1884 to 1889.

I bought this cabinet card because I liked the boys striped stockings.  The older boy looks like his outgrowing his good clothes. The boys are wearing short pants and button shoes.

Photo Number 1200

This is a photo from  the antique shop in Solway Minnesota.

A group of smiling children standing in the brush.  Kind of a strange place to take a photograph..there is some kind of a line that runs through the photo.  I double checked the photo it is not a crease.

Maybe it is a telephone line?   Getting a telephone line and a telephone was a big deal!  I will guess this photo is from around 1910 – 1915.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 1199

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

I am not sure if they are standing near a bridge..and I wonder where the photographer was standing.  This snapshot was most likely taken in the 1920’s.  The men are wearing the newsboy caps/driving caps also called eight panel caps, the women are wearing cloche hats.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 1198

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

Four young ladies and four young men, might be a wedding party..or a graduation.  The buildings look like they could be some kind of school.  Only one young lady is wearing a flower.

The sleeves on the dresses are huge so this photograph was probably taken around 1895.  Only one straw hat is visible.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 1197

This is an old snapshot from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This photo was taken near Dyersville Iowa.  Must have been a family get together that included a dog!  I think those are Model T’s in the background.  I would date this photo to the 1920’s sometime.

Dyersville Iowa..the name should have rung a bell with me..it was the scene of a famous Iowa movie and one of my favorites..can you guess which one? 

Here is the link.

Photo Number 1196

This is the last of the three photos that were bought at the antique shop in Brainerd .  The three photos were ripped out of an album.

This one is also a CdV.

The gentleman wears a striped pair of pants and vest.. a vest was often called a waistcoat.  He wears a two or three button frock coat with a white shirt and a tiny ribbon tie.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again::)

Photo Number 1195

This CDV goes with Nellie’s photo yesterday.  They were in the same remnants of an album.

A  woman in a drop shouldered dress with huge buttons, a lace collar and a brooch.  She looks so sad.  I wonder if she was Nellie’s Mother.

Yesterday’s CdV and todays share the same photographer, W. L. Edwards

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 1194

This is a CdV from the antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota.

W. L. Edwards was the photographer of Ashland Ohio

This CdV and two others were in the remnants of an album.  Someone just ripped the pages out of the album.

This is Nellie

I think Nellie’s photo is from the late 1860’s to early 1870’s.  The card has square corners, the dress appears to have sleeves that are dropped a little from the shoulder and you can see her ears.  If we could see the entire dress I would guess that it has a huge skirt.

Photo Number 1193

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

The photographer is E G Hart of Staples Minnesota.  I had no luck finding info about him.

This may or may not be Hazel

Hazel Hammond /Harmmond?

This young gal wears a pigeon breasted striped blouse along with a skirt that has sewn panels that flare into pleats at the hem.  Her hair is worn up and appears to have two bows one at the top of her head and another at the nape of her neck.  The photo was most likely taken about 1910 or so.

Dad before he  + Mom were married

Norman S.

Regna G.

Jack

The gentleman are wearing 3 button novelty sack suits with rounded corners.  Each wear a vest although it  was commonly called a waist coat.   One wears a very formal shirt with a rounded corner collar and a tie, the other a bow tie.  Their hats were probably very similar they just wore them differently.  The hats are Derby hats or like the English prefer Bowlers..they are one and the same.

The young lady is wearing a simple white blouse that is somewhat pigeon breasted and a tie, her skirt is simple and seems to end at her ankles..it is hard to tell.

I think this photo was taken around 1910.

These are the “A” squad cheerleaders

Jeanie Stalock Storlock

Jackie Recknor

Gloriann (Gloria Ann) Warke

+ me

This photo was most likely taken in the 1950’s.  I guess that because of the saddle shoes that two of the gals are wearing.  The vehicles all look like they are from the 1940’s.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

A while back my computer crashed, all of my photos are stored on Simple Save external drives.  I had some problems weeding out the photos that I have used versus not used…so I hope I don’t double up and use a photo I have posted before.  I have been through those files multiple times.. It was a good lesson to learn..now when I use a photo I tag it with  the number I used on the post:)

Update from Iggy:
These gals might be from the Albert Lea area.
Jacqueline R. married Eugene Graveman (of Albert Lea).

Photo Number 1190

These two snapshots go together.  I purchased them at the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Photo Number 1188

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

This gentleman may go with the lady from yesterday.  They shared the same photographer and background.  He is also showing off a ring on his right hand.  He wears striped trousers, a shirt, vest and jacket with a long overcoat.  He carries leather gloves and a cane.  His derby style hat is more than likely made from beaver. 

This photograph was taken after 1889.

Photo Number 1187

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

F. M. Ingalls was the photographer in Missoula Mont. 

Montana became a State in 1889 so this cabinet card can be dated after that date.  Gold beveled edges were popular trims for a cabinet cards from 1885 to 1892.

Her gown looks heavy.  It has a pleated skirt with a trimmed overskirt, the bodice is tight fitting with some kind of drape it also has tight sleeves and large cuffs.  Her wedding ring is prominently displayed.

This is a photo from the first antique shop in Dorset Minnesota.

Four adults, four children a horse and a dog.  Perhaps Grandpa and Grandma, son and daughter in law with their children.

A ladder was on the roof because chimneys needed to be cleaned out regularly.  Note the rain barrel in place to catch whatever water fell off the roof. The house is rather plain, there is nothing remarkable about it.

Dora, Maurice Stanley and Alta

This is an Azo postcard from 1904 to 1918.  I would say closer to the 1918 date because of the length of the ladies skirts.

That is a good sized house.  It looks like it has a summer kitchen and screened in porch off to the left.
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Warren of Winnebago, MN;
Mrs. Leonard Caudle of Jewell, Iowa; (Alta)
Mrs. Clarence Jones of Minneapolis

I love the screened in porch on the front of this house.  It looks like some big trees in the yard might cast some shade on that porch during the summertime.

Photo Number 1182

This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop near Erhard Minnesota.

It is a postcard from 1904 to 1918. 

The house has a house number so it must be in town.  The number is 418.

There is a little boy with a gun on the left and a man with a hose spraying water on the right..and everyone else is just waiting around.

My best guess is that the man in the jacket and the lady in the hat are visiting.

This week lets look at some houses.  This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Dorset Minnesota

This is an interesting photo. Five rifles are leaning up against the wall, long lodge poles are leaning up against a tree, a grinding wheel is attached to another tree and the person taking the photo is standing in a cabbage patch.  There is a huge brush pile on the left.  That grinding wheel probably sharpened an ax or two.

The building is what I would call a tar paper shack.  Years ago really poor people in Minnesota would build a small house..and cover it with tar paper and boards..the boards kept the tar paper in place when the wind blew.

Full Circle 69

Sometimes Full Circles happen all by themselves.  Relatives will do a search and find a photo of their relatives.

That is what happened recently with Photo Number 663 that was published on September 23, 2011.

From Martha:

I recently found your website called Forgotten Photos. You have a photo labeled Olaus Emil Ubøe, he was my 1st cousin, twice removed. Would it be possible to purchase the photo of Olaus Emil Ubøe from you?

From my records: Olaus Emil Ubøe was born on May 28, 1855, Aubø, Sjernarøy, Rogaland, Norway, and he died in Canada in 1926.

The following was from Milestones and Memories, Colonsay and Meacham Districts, 1905-1980,published by R.M. 342, Celebrate Saskatchewan 1980 Committees, Colonsay, Saskatchewan, Canada; printer Friesen Printers, Altona, Manitoba, Canada, 1980, p. 539.

Family Name: Uboe, Olaus and Christian

Olaus and Christian Uboe emigrated from Norway to Karlstad, Minnesota. Their education led them to become teachers. Olaus E. Uboe filed for a homestead in 1909 on S.W. 13-36-27 W2, east of Meacham. Later, Christian Martin Uboe came to Meacham and his homestead was NE 13-36-27 W2. Several years later, their sister (Emilie) came to live with them. Olaus, Christian, and their sister died here and were all buried in Minnesota.

Martha

I mailed her the photo and she has received it.  I do not charge for photos.  I return one photo to family free of charge, I consider it a kindness that perhaps they can pass along some day.  If they chose to reimburse me for postage that is great, some do and some do not.  Some people send more than the postage..then I turn around and purchase more photos.
