The photographer was Ravel in Edgeley ND
Orville Bartle Belle Hird
I wonder what their story is?
I have some photographs of their relatives…grandson maybe? I will present them tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again:)
Update from Iggy:
I suspect this is an engagement photo. Orville Pasco Bartle (1882-1968) married Mertel Belle Hird (1889-1963) They were married March 10 of 1909.
They had at least one son, William P Bartle (1926 - 2003) and family still living in Edgeley, ND.
Update: They had one daughter and five sons, Leroy, Kenneth, Glen, Leland and William. All four brothers died before William in 2003. William married Pearl Hirth Bartle (1926 to 2005) they had an infant son that died.

Handsome couple and fortunate that their names appear on the photo.

DeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteI like their names, which are not common to me.
Let's see what tomorrow will bring! :)
Sweet photograph--especially like the frame!--but somehow they seem so wistful.
ReplyDeleteCheers for Iggy finding their identity and tracking their family. Hopefully, a full circle report coming up soon :)
Such lovely old photos
ReplyDeleteHello, I also commented on the pictures of the school children, as I am the granddaughter of Max Hird. The writing on these pictures is also my grandmother's (Barbara Hird, nee Ellingson, as confirmed by my Aunt Jeri on the other pictures.) and if you are looking to reunite these pictures with family members I would love to have them as well. If I'm not mistaken, Belle Hird was Max's aunt. William would have been named after her grandfather.
ReplyDeleteI mailed this photo to Erin in Colorado on December 17, 2013
