Andrews Bergusans ?? Studio
Emma Seeba + Alice
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.
Thanks for stopping by.
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.
I believe this is mother - daughter. By quirk of fate, you may have met them and/or knew them Far Side.

Emma is Find A Grave Memorial# 53440006
Alice is Find A Grave Memorial# 52881805
Both memorials have extensive obituaries.
Fergus Falls is about 75 miles from me. We visit the antique shops there! Their Historical Society/Museum is a cranky bunch:(
DeleteThe photographer was Emelia Andrews.

I contacted another person in Ancestry.com about the photo.

DeleteShe died last September...that is sad and the photo has been sitting in a box for a couple of years.
DeleteHow sad! Hope other person wants it.
ReplyDeleteI thought those two had to be related! Well, here's hoping you find a connection to someone in the family who'd be interested!
ReplyDeleteThis morning I got an email from Mark whose Uncle Vern is a relative. We will see what develops:)
ReplyDeleteUncle Vern doesn't want the photo so it is still up for rescue:)
DeleteI mailed the photo to Sylvia in Minnesota yesterday April 20 2015.
