Senore Soew ?  Soen?  Sven? Svew?  Lenore Loew Aged 16 years  1895

There is no photographers imprint. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:

I think that she might be Lenore Loew. If so, she was born in Wisconsin to Henry and Emma Loew. On the 1900 census they, along with brother Percy lived in Milwaukee WI. By 1910 the family lived in Portland, OR. Emma is shown as widowed and Lenore single. A niece, Alma Keuheke also lived with them. In 1920 the same three women are living together in Portland, OR, although Alma's name is spelled Kueneke.
From MJM's info:
 I could not find Lenore.  I did find her parents Emma 1856-1927 and Henry J Loew (1852-1905) both buried in La Belle Cemetery Wisconsin.  I also found Lenore's brother Percy (1876-1950)  His wife was Ella (1880-1958)  They had at least one child Roger C. (1901-1965) and Roger had a daughter Eleanore Loew Merten (1920-1998) all of Percy's bunch is buried in Forest Home Cemetery Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Photo Number 189

April 15, 2015  Melanie left a message on the blog:

I realize this is an old post. I just found this picture. This is my mom and one of my older cousins. Do you remember where you got it? She was from the Alexandria MN area.

I replied:

I do not remember where I got the photo, mostly likely in antique shop in Park Rapids or Detroit Lakes. If you would like the photo I am happy to return it to you, please contact me by email with your address. My email can be :found by clicking near the yellow flower or on Far Side of Fifty...the email is in my profile.

Melanie emailed me this information.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me. I was so surprised to see that photo. I haven’t figured out who the baby is yet, but as the keeper of the photos I know I have seen that baby before. I will keep digging.

My Mother was Edna Viola Frisell Milam. She was born in Starbuck MN on December 7, 1922, to Carl and Britha (Berglund, Peterson) Frisell. She had three brothers and two sisters and since both of my grandparents had been married before, she also had four half-brothers and two half-sisters. She was a telephone operator during the war in San Diego CA. She was living with her older sister and it was there she met my father, John Milam. He was in the Navy with her brother Ed. They married and had 4 children. They divorced after about 11 years. After the divorce we children and Mom moved back to Alexandria. She was a telephone operator there too. There were no dials on the phones then. I remember picking up the receiver and telling the operator that I wanted to talk to my Aunt Carol, and they would put me right through. She had decided to go to college to be a teacher, so we moved into the old family farm for a year to save up. (No running water, a pump on the kitchen sink and an outhouse. Baths in Lake Le Homme Dieu with Ivory soap because it floats and in the winter, in a tub on the kitchen floor with water heated on the stove.) When I was nine years old. We moved  to St. Cloud and she got her degree. We moved to Fargo in 1966 and she taught high school English. After she retired she moved back to Alexandria for a few years and then to St. Cloud. She died in St. Cloud on September 23, 2003. She was an amazing progressive woman who raised us all on her own and somehow managed to turn out four well adjusted, thoughtful, civic-minded, (now old) kids. The last of her siblings , Aunt Carol, died in February in Seattle. She was 98 years old.

My Mom looks to be in her early 20s in the picture. I can’t place the area. Even the church doesn’t look familiar. Perhaps Little Falls? She had brothers and sisters in the area.  I would love to have the picture.

 

Hi Melanie,  I will search for the photo this morning and hopefully get it in the mail this afternoon.  IF I were you as time permits you should start at the beginning of my blog and look at all the photos, there may be more photos of your Mom or her family.  Since I started I have presented over 1700 photos so after awhile everyone looks familiar to me.  BUT I have a feeling that there are more photos of your Mom..  I also have about 3,000 photos here that have not been presented yet.   When I have time I will go back to my original scan, I used to keep them in folders from where they came from and they are all on my Simple Save Backup.  Connie

April 16, 2015 Hi Melanie, I mailed the photo today.  I found it in my archived photos but apparently I never noted where it was from.  Could have been Park Rapids, DL, Perham  or Motley.  Connie

April 23, 2015 I received the photo. Thank you so much. You may use any of my words in your blog. I am so proud of my mother for what she achieved in her life. She was the greatest mom ever.

Sincerely,

Melanie

Thank you Melanie for sharing about your Mother the beautiful smiling woman in the photograph.

Thanks for stopping by.

She replied:

February 10

I would love to have this picture of Arnold and Mildred. They are related to my husband. Let me know what I need to do.

Thank You!

Hi Theresa, I will need your address and I will get the photo off in the mail.  Is there anything you can share?  Do you know of the Emma Stennes who is in the photo with the unknown man.  The photo was taken by Mildred and sent to Emma.    Connie

I haven’t tied in Emma Stennes as of yet. Her family  was from Norway also. I just don’t know yet if she was family or just a friend. I will work on this and see what I can come up with.

Theresa

I mailed the photo February 11 2015

I didn’t hear anything for the longest time.

March 7

Hi Theresa, Did the photo arrive safely?  I would like to write the Full Circle post.  Thanks Connie

Hello,

Sorry I haven’t written back. Yes they arrived. I lost the letter part of the letter so forgot what to do.

Theresa

March 9  Do you have any thing to share about the people in the photo?  Thanks Connie

I can add information whenever it arrives.

This was a fast Full Circle as Full Circles go!  Susanna Rosalie and Sue Thomas made this full circle possible. Sue located the photographer and Susanna figured out Emma's name. What they did was remarkable!
Iggy left a message at Ancestry for Barbara.

Photo Number 1874  Emma Wicklund

I heard from Barbara:

I'm contacting you about the photo you posted of Emma...she is my grandmother.  Her son Kermit is my father. I would love to have the photo....where did you find it? If in a shop  in North Bend/Coos Bay it has been just around the corner for years. We live in Coos Bay.
To fill out your knowledge some....My dad was killed in a logging accident in 1943, when I was 3 yrs old. After the war Mom remarried to Wilmer Northup of Myrtle Point [just down the road]. They had 2 girls.
I also left a message on your blog, but don't have much experience with messaging that way and am more comfortable with old fashioned email.
See you down the road
Barbara

Hi Barbara,  A fellow by the name of Craig sent me a whole box of photos a few years ago.  I have been featuring them from time to time on the blog.  He purchased them from different antique shops in California and placed many with relatives.  He then decided he was through with the project and mailed them to me.
I am happy to send the photo to you.  I will need your address.  Connie at Forgotten Old Photos
BTW you live in a beautiful area of Oregon!

Barbara replied:
It's interesting that he purchased them in Calif.
Emma only lived for a short time in Long Beach Ca.  I think the families first settled in that area because of the fishing industry. Not sure why/how they got to Oregon, except that fishing was  a big industry here also.  I found a cousin of my dad's that remembered playing with him during those couple Calif years. Emma came back to Coos Bay in 1921 , married Alfred Gunnell, a widower with several children and lived on a dairy farm for the rest of her life. She died in 1954.
We spent most of our working years in Calif and spent many vacations here in the Coos Bay area visiting my family. When we retired my Mom and step-dad were also retired to here so it was easy to settle in this area. I brought my husband [a city boy] to the country and he loves it. Doesn't miss Calif where he grew up.
That you so much for doing this....
Barbara

I sent the photo off in the mail.

The photo has arrived...thank you very much.
You can post what I originally sent with this added:
Emma was born 1876 in Finland, daughter of Axel Kova and Britta Yxfaste. The 1920 census says she arrived in the US 1900. She married Albert Wicklund 1907 in Marshfield, Ore. [It was later changed to Coos Bay]  Albert died in 1916. Sometime before 1920 she went back to her family in Long Beach Calif where she is during the 1920 census. By 1921 she has returned to Marshfield and married Alfred Gunnell.
Hope this helps with you Full Circle post.
See you down the road

Mildred Peterson  Florine’s sister

Looks to me like a photo from the 1910’s to 1920’s.

The photographer remains illusive.  The Imprint starts with a C   my best guess is Conard.

Thanks for stopping by.

We had another Peterson Family earlier from Craig’s Collection Photo Number 1520 featured Mr and Mrs Andreas Peterson and daughters Agnes and Jennie

Perhaps this is the daughter of Erick W Peterson (abt 1875 in Finland - ?) and Mary Peterson. The family lived in Menominee, Michigan in 1920.

Erick was a Machinist for an Iron Mine.

At the time of the 1920 US Census, Mildred Peterson was 22 years old and her sisters, Marie Peterson, 20 and Florine Peterson was 10. They had a baby brother named Alfred Peterson, age 7.

This Mildred (abt 1898 in Wisconsin) was a stenographer. I don't know what happened to either her or Florine

Photo Number 1778

 

Dear Connie,

I received the copy of the photo which was our family picture (Christmas postcard) in 1941.  Although I have the picture, I didn't know it had been used as our Christmas card.  My mother, Agnes Masted, never married again and lived until she was 94, dying in 2008.

I would like to find out more.  Do you have other pictures of my dad, Rev. Walter L. Masted?

Carol

Hello Carol.   I purchased the Christmas Card in an Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.  Your father was a Pastor in the Detroit Lakes area and no doubt they had many friends in the area.   I have not run across any more photos of your family that I am aware of.  On the blog there is a search field off to the left side.

When photos end up in an antique shop you never can be sure where they come from.

I am happy to return the photo to you if you wish. It was nice to hear from you!

  Connie at Forgotten Old Photos

I wouldn't mind having it seeing it has my Dad's handwriting on it.  I will send you a check covering costs.  Please let me know about how much.  By the way, I'm the baby in the picture.  Yvonne is the older one.

Thanks,

Carol

Hi Connie,

I put a check in the mail for you today.  Thanks for sending the picture.  Carol

J.W. Riggs  in  Marshfield Oregon

I think the gals name is Emma Wielelend ? Wickland or Wicklund

These on the diagonal photos were popular from 1895 to 1905.

Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Iggy:
In Ancestry, the best fit (of several) appears to be:

Emma Wicklund
Age in 1910: 34
Birth Year: abt 1876
Birthplace: Finland
Home in 1910: North Bend, Coos, Oregon
Race: White
Gender: Female
Immigration Year: 1900
Relation to Head of House: Wife
Marital Status: Married
Spouse's Name: Albert Wicklund
Father's Birthplace: Finland
Mother's Birthplace: Finland

This Emma appears to have been widowed by 1920 and moved to Los Angeles with her son, Kermit. She was then a Dressmaker.

In 1930, the son is listed as a step-son to Alfred Gunnell as Emma remarried. The family is back in Coos County, Oregon.

I found the Photographer Anderson at the Minnesota Historical Society, but there is no info on what years Anderson was in Starbuck/Morris. There is also no first name for him.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

The photographer would appear to be Joseph B Anderson (c. 1872 in Sweden) living in Morris, Stevens, Minnesota immigrated in 1893 and lived in Morris 1900 and 1910 before moving to Eugene, Oregon.

Robert Henry Degendorfer (Apr. 27, 1875 - Sep. 30, 1967) is buried in Summit Cemetery, Morris, Stevens County, Minnesota. 
He had about 10 brothers and sisters.

This is a small heavy card ( 4 X 6 1/2 inches)  The photo is glued onto the card. 

I will guess from the slightly pigeon breasted blouses that this is from around 1910.

Stuart from Full Circle 112 sent me a photo of his Grandfather and another Railroad Card Scan.

Update from Iggy:

Mother Emma nee' Wenstrom Seeba (Feb. 6, 1876 - Jan. 14, 1957) the wife of John H Seeba and daughter is Alice Seeba Bolinder (Nov. 18, 1891 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota - Jan. 17, 1980 in Fergus Falls)

John and Emma are Alice's parents.  Emma became the step mother of Johns' children.  Fred Carl 1881-1965, Herman August 1882-1956, Mary 1884-1959, Amelia August Seeba Clodfelter 1889-1987, and Henry unknown birth and death.

The Photographer is Wise Smith Co.  Hartford

H H Spooner

I will guess this gentleman is 30-40 years old and the photo was taken about 1910-1920.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

I found an Henry H Spooner (c. 1853 - 1921) living in Kensington, Hartford, Connecticut has a leading member of the Connecticut Temperance Union. Given the photo was taken in Hartford (CT) - I'm pretty sure this is him.

"Mr HH Spooner had likewise been a member of the Board of Managers of the National Temperance Society for many years and secretary of the Connecticut Temperance Union Mr Spooner was a man of conviction broad sympathy and tolerant spirit He was devoted to temperance work and gave much of his time and thought in furthering the same through various organizations He was neat in his dress clear in his thinking and circumspect in his conduct Too few gentlemen of his character give themselves to public service "

This Full Circle began when Iggy left a message at Ancestry with the tree holder for E.E. Rittenhouse.

Hello -

What a pleasant surprise and kind offer. Yes, I would greatly appreciate having Elmer's photo. Please advise me how to receive it and what 'out of pocket' costs may be reimbursed. Again, thanks so much.

George

Photo Number 1848   E.E. Rittenhouse

Hello George I am happy to mail you the photo.  I hope you will share something about Elmer after you have received the photo. I will get it ready to mail out tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks for the interest in the photo! Connie at Forgotten Old Photos

Hello Connie

Thank you very much for sending along the photo of  E.E. Rittenhouse #1848.

I have just sent it to Stuart who is the Grandson of  E.E. R. I included your letter and would expect that he will respond to you.

This is a wonderful task you have taken on!  Just think of the many families who have ‘recovered’ an ancestor!

I assume you do not receive responses from everyone, so I am enclosing a check in excess of what you suggested to cover your costs. 

Again Thank You and Iggy too!

George

Hi George, I received your letter and most generous check today, thank you very much!  ( I will rescue a few more photos!) I look forward to hearing from Stuart, I will write a Full Circle Post after I have heard from him.  Thank you for your assistance getting this photo home to family!  Connie

A few days later I heard from Stuart:

Dear Connie,

I write to thank you for the photo of Elmer E. Rittenhouse that you sent to my cousin George, who forwarded it to me.  I am Stuart and Elmer E. Rittenhouse was my maternal grandfather.

Elmer died before I was born so I never knew him personally but we have a lot of family history about him.  He had an early career in the years around 1900 in Colorado Springs, where the photo was taken, as a railroad telegrapher.  Later he moved his family to Montclair, NJ and built a successful career in New York in the insurance business, before his untimely death in 1920 at the age of fifty-eight.

During World War I he was an early advocate of getting the U.S. to join the Allies in defeating Germany.  The New York newspapers published a number of letters about the war, under the pseudonym ‘Ammi Wright.’

Thanks again,

Stuart

He included copies of Railroad Passes that belonged to his Grandfather.

He also included a check.

Hello Stuart, I received your letter and check this week.  Thank you so much for the Railroad History and the scans of the old cards are wonderful!   I will include them in the Full Circle Post I will write this next week. 

I will use the check to rescue more old photos! 

Thanks again!
