This is a photo from the antique shop in Alexandria Minnesota.

Darlene Chayer

The photographer was E J Colmark in Kensington Minn

According to the Minnesota Historical Society he was in business there in 1902.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:

I found a birth record for Darlene Chayer dated August 1932, to parents Chestin A and L Cordelia. That didn't fit with the MHS record of 1902 for that photographer. However, I found Erick Colmark located in Kensington on the 1930 census and that said he was a merchant in a picture gallery.

This photo went Full Circle 151 on November 14 2016

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

Down on the Gulf Beach at Panama City, Florida.

The sun was so bright,..thus the squint.

Note the pretty white sand that stretches back as far as you can see.

I took the time to look at some more of the snapshots that this red typewriter lady took.  I believe from another similar photo that this is Moe.

Thanks for stopping by.

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

A lady out on a porch swing.

This is Mrs Wilkenson on her frontporch swing.  ‘Member I told you what great proch sitters they are down here.  This is the front door andour door was just to the right of the one door you see. She certainly is a nice person..we still go over to see her once in a while.

This lady that typed in red on the back of her photos rarely identified anyone.  There are many of her photos still at the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

I believe this photo was taken near Panama City or Panama City Beach in Florida.

Thanks for stopping by.

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

We have a couple of names.  Josephine John’s daughter Kragness  then Mrs. Clark St Louis Mo.

I think perhaps this might be Josephine Kragness. The photo is most likely from the late 1920’s.

Full Circle 149

This Full Circle began when Iggy found a blog for this family!  I contacted the blogger and mailed the photo off.

Anna Huseby Photo Number 2299

I heard from Mark a relative:

"Anna Huseby was born 20 Jul 1870 in Winneshiek Co., the daughter of Arne Johansen Huseby and Johanna Margrete Johannesen. She married Anton Erickson 15 Dec 1896 at Big Canoe Lutheran Church in rural Winneshiek Co. Anton, the son of Jens and Ingeborg (Hanson) Erickson Ness, was born 8 May 1859 at Washington Prairie in Winneshiek Co. Anna and Anton lived in Decorah and later moved to North Dakota. They moved back to Decorah and then moved to Spokane, WA where they remained for the rest of their lives. Anton was 84 when he died at Spokane on 25 Oct 1943. Anna died at Medical Lake in Spokane County on 23 Jan 1946 at the age of 75. They were the parents of 4 boys: Jesse Arthur (1897-1970), George Irving (1900-1983), Arnold Milton (1907-1995), and Wilbert Alvin (1910-1992)."

Your readers might also like the picture of the whole family that I have attached. I was given permission to use it and I'm sure it it is fine if you use it also, though please give credit to Bill Waters and the IAGenWeb Project. The boys in the back are George and Jesse. I believe the ones in the front center are Wilbert and Arnold, though I am not 100% sure.
Thanks, Mark

This is a Real Photo Postcard from the Tin Ceiling in Park Rapids.


A family of five.  We only know first names and a location.

6/20 1925 Menahga (Minnesota)

Vernon 2 12/23 –1925 ( born in 1922)

Marjan 4 12/17 – 1925 (born in 1920)

Ernest 6  11/15 – 1925 (born in 1918)

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:

Since Menahga was such a small community, I searched through the 1930 census page by page looking for a family with children of those names and ages. I found a family indexed as John and Impy Wick Kinen with children Eural, Maryon, and Vernier. The ages match for the kids. Lots of bad writing and spelling on this census. I believe that the correct spelling for the surname is Wirkkunen. The MN birth index shows a girl named Fielar Marie Miriam Wirkkunen born 17 Dec 1921 in Wadena County.

Full Circle 148

This Full Circle posts begins with a search and an email.

Hi-
I stumbled across photo 39 on your blog. Margaret Peters Bauer is my great great aunt.  Her sister is Lucy Peters Bauer, who was my great grandmother. They married brothers: Lucy married John Bauer- my great grandfather, and Margaret married  John's brother, Joe Bauer. Do you happen to still have the photo? I showed it to my mom, who is very much into genealogy and she really enjoyed seeing it.
You have a great blog- I love all the old photos!
Anne

I wrote back that yes I still had the photo and I would mail it as requested to her Mom in Illinois.

Photo Number 39 featured on November 29, 2009.  Margaret Peters

Anne shared what family history she could recall.

I asked my mom to provide some more info on Margaret's history, but in the meantime I will tell you what I recall. My mom's father was Phillip Bauer. His parents were Lucy and John Bauer. Lucy is Margaret's sister and John is the brother of Margaret's husband, Joe Bauer. I believe they were married on the same day  in a joint wedding and lived together in Harmon IL for awhile afterwards. Margaret and Joe, along with their son Clarence, are buried in the Bauer family plot in Harmon, IL. I am unsure about her other children, but my mom says many  of her descendants live in the Chicago area. I believe my mom has traced the Peters family all the way back to Germany. 
Thanks again!
Anne

I also heard from Anne’s Mother Mary Beth:

Dear Connie:
Thank you so much for being so thoughtful to see that old photos find a home.  How many times I have been to an auction and seen homeless photos, thinking that it was too bad someone didn’t care for them.  However as a genealogist I realize that a photo without a name is almost useless if you don’t know the person in the photo.  I have a large box of those from my husband’s family.

Margaret’s picture – Margaret appears to be wearing her wedding dress, however, in her wedding picture her hair is arranged differently.  She was married in 1908.  I have a copy of an older picture of her wearing a high collared dress.  She must have preferred them.

Margaret was the 5th of 7 children.  Two of her sisters married Bartle brothers, two of her siblings married Grennam siblings, and her husband was a brother to my grandmother.

Margaret and Joseph lived on the Bauer family farm in Harmon, IL until retiring to Dixon.  They had two children Clarence and Catherine.  Margaret. Joseph and their son Clarence and grandson Robert are buried with Joseph’s parents in a small cemetery in Harmon.  Half of my great grandparents children settled in South Dakota near Sturgis.  So the pictures must have traveled to them.  Clarence’s wife Audrey is still alive and I know she will be interested in the travels of the picture of Margaret.

Thank you so much!  Mary Beth

  This Real Photo Postcard is from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This is a postcard from 1911…at least that is how it is marked on the back.

Seems one boy has a broken arm and another is hanging onto a long pole that may anchor a raft or boat of some sort…or maybe he is fishing.
