Marilyn '59

The photographer was David Banks Studio.  They are still in business with studios in Anoka and Fridley Minnesota. 

The pearls and that little curl all say 1959!  I bet that was a pastel colored angora sweater too!

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 1916

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

Looks like she had a fresh perm for graduation.

Marie Borgward  Borgwardt 1930 

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:
I am pretty sure this is Marie Estelle nee' Borgwardt Hughes (Oct. 16, 1912 in Fairmont, Martin County, Minnesota - May 7, 2000 in Littleton, Arapahoe County, Colorado)

Marie Estelle Borgwardt, the daughter of George H. and Stella O. (Drake) Borgwardt, was born Oct. 16, 1912, in Fairmont. She received her education in Fairmont and also attended nurses' school, receiving her degree as a registered nurse. In June of 1937, she was united in marriage to Emory G. "Doc" Hughes in Fairmont.  Marie died May 7 2000. They had three children.

Photo Number 1914

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

Charles Roth 1930

I am not sure what is written on the front of the photo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

The 1930 US census shows a Charles Roth as a roomer in Farimont, MN, born c. 1913 in Iowa. It is hard to be sure since this fellow got around - and there are a couple other fellows with the same name, but I think this is Charles Phillip Roth 
Birth 1 Jan 1913 in Estherville, Emmet, Iowa 
Death 26 Feb 1999 in Brownsville, Cameron, Texas
He worked in a road construction outfit based in Brainerd, MN for 20+ years.

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.

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 1910

This is a High School Graduation  wallet photo from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Ray Z Miengoon ? Ellingson ?

Sis Remember those Tuesday nights on water tank hill and the charlee horse in your leg.  Seems funny now doesn’t it.  Good Luck with Moe.  Ray
Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:
I think that last name is Ellingson. A possibility on the 1940 census is a family in Detroit Lakes with parents Abel and Lila with sons William L age 11, A Raymond age 9, and F Thomas 4

Photo Number 1909

This will be the last of Craig’s Scans for awhile.  I made it through the batch that I scanned.  We will have a few graduations photos now.

Harry L. Plummer was the photographer in Lewiston, ME.

Yours Sincerely Wentworth S. Wright  St. A. ‘07

He has a stylin’ bow tie!

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

Wentworth Spencer Wright (8 Jan 1889 in Illinois - 14 Mar 1963 in Alameda, CA) 

His father, Edmund Wentworth Wright was an educator that graduated from Harvard. Edmund was a High School Principal in Old Orchard, Maine during 1906-1911.

Wentworth was an insurance salesman in San Francisco. Wentworth and his wife Inez had a son named Paul (c. 1920)

This photo went Full Circle 141 on March 21 2016

Photo Number 1908

This is a Cabinet Card from Craig’s Collection.

The photographer is R.W. Hubbell from Red Wing Minn

I found that he was an active photographer from 1886 to 1893.

I will guess this one is taken closer to 1886 because it looks like this gown might have a bustle.   The Cabinet Card also has a pink back that was seen from 1880 to 1890.

Mrs Moll

Thanks for stopping by.
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.

Photo Number1907

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

The photographer was w.J. Ramsey from Gainsville, GA

Paul Thienlard?  1910  Made in Gainsville. Ga

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 1906

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

The photographer is from Yankton South Dakota

J C Griggs and wife and girl…then John Griggs…then on the bottom …made in S Dakota.
Someone also did some arithmetic 1909 – 1896 = 13 Whatever that means.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Iggy:
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.

Photo Number 1905

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

Gustave  Fran or Frau?

The photographer is unknown.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Susanna Rosalie:

This is German: Gustavs Frau = Gustav's wife

Photo Number 1904

This is a Cabinet Card from Craig’s Collection.

Prescher was the photographer  in Milwaukee

Gustie Fohrman

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

This is a possibility

The 1880 US Census shows Augusta "Gustie" Fohrman (abt 1852 in Wisconsin) living with her parents, Joseph and Katherine Fohrman.

Photo Number 1903

This is a Cabinet Card from Craig’s Collection.

Max Platz from Chicago is the photographer.

M A Veeder Lake Forest

Most likely Lake Forest, Ill.  This looks to be a photo from around 1880 to 1890.
Thanks for stopping by.
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 1902

This is a Cabinet Card from Craig’s Collection.

Wint was the photographer at 629 Hamilton St. Allentown PA

Father Strauss  Harry’s Grandfather

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

This is a possibility:

This might be Alfred J Strauss (Nov. 5, 1865 - Feb. 1, 1910) 

He had a grandson named Harry Alfred Strauss, Jr.

Photo Number 1901

This is a Cabinet Card from Craig’s Collection.

Holmes S &Clark was the photographer at El Dorado Springs Mo

Leona Clinton

Prop of Ethel C. Lowry

This Cabinet Card has a pink back.  From 1880 to 1890 different colors were sometimes used for the face and back of the mounted photos.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

I think the Ethel referred to might be Ethel C[linton?] Lowry, the daughter of Dane Clinton. She was born in Aug, 1882 in Missouri and moved with her family to Los Angeles, CA sometime before 1900. I am not sure how she might be related to Leona - the missing 1890 US Census left a big hole here. Leona might have been an older sister. Leona does not appear with the Dane Clinton family in 1900. Ethel married Homer T Lowry and lived in the San Diego area.

Leona Clinton might be Leona Gibb (4 Jun 1869 in Missouri - 4 Oct 1943 in Alameda), the wife of James H Gibb (1851 to < 1930). It appears James was her second husband. She married George M Bennett in 1889 and is shown divorced in 1910.

The Bennet's had a daughter Bessie B Eib [later Betty B Gibb] (abt 1892) shown as widowed in 1920.

Photo Number 1900

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

C.J. Pierce was the photographer at Green Lake Summer Resort Dartford Wis.

Mr Frucas Krukas

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

This is a possibility:

Stanley John Krukas (8 May 1888 - Aug 1964)

He came into this country in 1906 so he may have had his photo taken shortly after he got there. 

Dartford is known as Green Lake after 1907.

Photo Number 1899

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

This is a small photo it measures 3 inches x 4 inches.

Isabelle Gerber   Ben Gerber (it is faint)

Mrs Levi Moushberger?? Moeschberger

Raymond  Eddy & Janettes Mother

The photo was probably taken about 1900.

I think one of these ladies may be  Isabelle Schwartz Gerber 1877-1949  Husband Benjamin 1874-1940.  Both are buried at Berne Adams County Indiana.

Update from Iggy:

In the same cemetery as Isabelle is a Levi Moeschberger / Meshberger He was born in 187 and his wife. Ellen / Ella was born in 1876. Her maiden name was Gerber but I think she was a cousin of Benjamin. She is Find A Grave Memorial# 55252705.

Levi and Ella had son Raymond (Find A Grave Memorial# 55252810) and the 1930 US census shows "Jennette" born in 1919. I think "Eddy" was Edward,

Most of the children changed the name to Meshberger.

They also had a son named Denver Meshberger who died in 2006.  Jeanette was still living at that time.

This photo went Full Circle 124 on July 8, 2015

Photo Number 1898

These are two photos from Craig’s Collection.  They are both marked with the same name.

Maybe they just picked an apple?

Then this group gathered out by the clothesline for a photo.

I think these photos may have been taken about 1905 to 1910.  Probably by some just beginning his or her photography career.  The photos are cut a bit crooked.

They are both marked with initials at the bottom C.H.R. and at the top with C. H. Radden

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

This appears to be Charlotte H. Radden (1888 - 1960) East Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois the wife of Henry Christian Radden.

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!

Photo Number 1896

This is a photo from Craig’s Collection.

The photographer is L.A. Sprague at the Elite Studio in Red Bluff, CAL.

Norma Chipnian Chipman Wells  Red Bluff

This is quite a large photo 4 x 5 1/2 inches and  7 x 9 inches framed.

I will guess the photo is from 1900 to 1910.

Thanks for stopping by.
