Lots of Luck Helen
Sis - Remember the good old days when we had so much fun. And now suddenly it’s all over at least our high school days. I hope we see each other after we’re out of school. Good Luck to you and Moe.
I am thinking that the gal that kept these photos was known as Sis….and her beau is Moe.

Update from Iggy:
There is a chance this is Amanda Malvina Gurley Moll. (She was born in 1847 and married in 1865 and died in 1886.)
I believe her husband, Justus Bernard Moll worked for the railroad Chicago-Milwaukee-St. Paul-Pacific known as the Milwaukee Road that went through Red Wing.

Someone also did some arithmetic 1909 – 1896 = 13 Whatever that means.

Possibly this is John Colby Griggs 1837-1914
He married Lucy Hill and they had seven children. She died in 1893. He married Cora Azalea Bradish and they had three children; Samuel, Catherine, James and Mildred.
Possibly the child in the photo is Mildred,,,she was born in 1895. She married Glen B. Lukens and they had three children; Ellen, James and John.

Update from Susanna Rosalie:
This is a possibility.
This could be MARTHA ANNA VEEDER *22. September 1873 in Fonda, Montgomery County, New York, +9. January 1951.
The NYGenWeb page collected info on the work and biography of Dr. Major Albert Veeder (1848-1915; a descendant of Simon Volkertse Veeder), married to Mary E. Wood. Their children:
Albert F. Veeder
Willard H. Veeder
Sarah E. Veeder
Martha A. Veeder
Reading through this page, I found a possible connection to Illinois: Martha Anna's sister Sarah worked as a teacher at Frances Skinner Acadamy west of Chicago. So maybe at a visit, the photo was taken. I think timewise it could fit.
At the page of family search, a record is given showing the application for a passport of Martha Anna Veeder in 1910. Looking at the original, one can see the 'Description Of Applicant' with her features of a 'round face with a small mouth and small nose, a square chin, high forehead'...At least not contrary to the portrait above!

Photo Number 1897
This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
This must be a photo of a child, mother and maybe a friend or a sister, the other woman doesn’t look old enough to be the grandmother. Too bad this photo is not marked. I will point out that both ladies are wearing wedding bands, the lady on the right is carrying gloves and the lady pushing the carriage wears a double buttoned blouse…possibly for ease of nursing her baby.
It is a Real Photo Postcard from 1904 to 1918. The ladies look all set to travel someplace.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Mother’s Day!
