Photo Number 2343

These are snapshots from the antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota.

This is a hayfield and that contraption must bring the hay closer to the haystack.  I am not certain how it works.

Here is a closer look . The fellows in the photo seem happy. 
I sent a email to a modern day cowboy who uses many old ways of harvesting, perhaps he will be able to shed some light on this old photo.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Orden Hartley:
It looks like a hay baler. They are feeding the hay into it and it puts out square bales.

Full Circle 150

This is a Full Circle that began back in May.  Robert left a comment on my blog and from there he emailed me.

Hello Connie
I was excited to see photos of some of my ancestors from Sweden. E.G.O. Hoglund was my great grandfathers brother. I have been searching my Swedish family as my daughter is living and teaching there and I now have a Swedish grand daughter. It would be nice to take the photos to Sweden with me this July. Please let me know the cost to send them. Thanks in advance.
Rob

Photo Number 2076  Erick Hoglund  Photo taken in Sweden

Photo Number 2076 The Erick Hoglund Family

Photo Number 2077  The Erick Hoglund Children

I sent the photos off to Robert in Nova Scotia so he could take them to Sweden. 

Then Robert discovered I had more photos of his family.

Photo Number 2056  Hans and Christina Johnson Family

Robert wrote:
My fathers dad died when my dad was 7 years old. He, his brother and mother went to Canada to be with his mothers family as she was born in Canada. Because of this we had very little contact with our American family. To now have pictures of some of our ancestors is awesome. Hans is my great grandmothers brother. Hans was born in Kallan (Transtrand) Sweden. In this photo are 5 boys. Hans and Christine had a girl also, but she died in 1894. Most likely in childbirth.
My daughter now lives in Sweden, is married and has a daughter born there. Another full circle.
Thanks Connie.

Hans and Christina Johnson  Photo Number 2058

Robert’s comment:
Small world. Hans Johnson/Johanson is my great grandmother Albertina Hoglund (Johnson) brother. Hans Johnson and Christine Stone (Steen) had six children. Hans was born in Transtrand Sweden May 10, 1860 by Swedish records. Hand written on information from the Hoglund family show he was born on May 13, 1860. I found Swedish records and family records sometimes don't match. Also there are name changes. Swedish records show Hanson as Hans and Christines children's surname. It can be a little confusing to trace family.
Thank you Connie for finding these photos. You have put faces to my ancestors.

Olga and Tillie Hoglund Photo Number 2295

I knew when I saw this postcard that they were relatives of Erick Hoglund and lo and behold they were the little girls in the family photo. ( Photo Number 2077)

Robert wrote:

I took these photos to Sweden to show my daughters new Swedish in laws and they were very interested in the story of how they were found and of my family history. They really liked the one of Erick taken in Sweden. Thanks Connie. I have sent you correspondence by regular post.

I got a note in the mail from Robert:

Thank you so much for the photos of Hans Johnson and Family and Hans and Christine.  Hans is my Great Grandmothers brother.  Also the picture of Olga and Tillie (Matilda) who are daughters of Hans sister Christine Johnson (Hoglund).  Christine married my Great Grandfather Isaac Hoglund’s brother Erick Gustave Olson Hoglund and Isaac married her (Christine) sister Albertina Johnson (Hoglund) What a coincidence for you to have photos of both the Johnsons and the Hoglunds.

Sincerely Robert

Sometimes when photos are sold as part of an estate or someone doesn’t know what to do with the old photos they end up in antique shops.  Sometimes this is an intertwining family history…and I am more than happy to mail photos to relatives who appreciate them.  I know I would be thrilled to get a photo of my great grandparents!

Thanks for stopping by.

The photo was taken in Hudson Wis

Arthur Christofferson  June 1895  Graduating Photo

IF he was about 18 when graduating then he was born about 1877 or so.

I wonder if he is related to Charles from yesterdays photo?

Sometimes I hesitate to buy damaged photos but then I think if they have a name on the back a damaged photo is better than no photo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

Arthur Christofferson Born Jan 14 1878 in Wisconsin and died March 2 1956 in Minnesota. His parents were Hans and Bertha. He had siblings Alvin, Charles, Harry and Julia. Arthur married Lulu Belle Fortune and they had at least three children Mary, Janet and John.  Arthur was an attorney.

Three boys.

Aupol 1900 off to the side

Douglas Dec 17 83

Alec Nov 29 1889   91

Monte  Mar 6 85

The dates make no sense to me…IF the photo was taken in 1900, the boys would be 17, 11 and 15.  If it was taken in 1895 they would be 12, 6 and 10  which is much more believable.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here are two photos from the antique shop in Elizabeth Minnesota.

Myrtle and Evelyn

Mr + Mrs E Leithe

Myrtle and  Evelyn

I believe it says 11 yrs under Myrtle’s name and 3 yrs under Evelyn’s name.

Both photos were taken in Fergus Falls Minnesota.

Thanks to a link from Iggy I found an obituary for Evelyn.

Evelyn Nellie Leithe June 23 1909 – September 16, 2005

She went to Battle Lake High School and then on to Moorhead State Teachers College, she taught school in Ottertail County Minnesota.  In 1957 she moved to Japan and taught English there.  In the 1970’s she was the caregiver for her Father ( but he died in 1956) and sisters?  how many did she have? I only know of one Mable Berthe Leithe Berquist 1895 – 1979.  Did she have a sister name Myrtle or was the photo mis marked?  She moved to Redmond Washington in 1996 to be near her nieces.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

Myrtle Anna LEITHE was born on 7 Nov 1900 in Battle Lake, Otter Tail Co., Minnesota. She died on 28 Jan 1996 in Minneapolis, Hennepin Co., Minnesota.(4)
She was married to Oscar Samuel WELTZIN on 31 Dec 1922 in Battle Lake, Otter Tail Co., Minnesota. Children were: Ruth Angeline WELTZIN, Lorraine Winifred WELTZIN.

These photos went Full Circle 175 on Jan 2 2019

Photo Number 2322

This is an old Funeral Card.  I see them from time to time.  I purchased this one at the antique shop in Elizabeth Minnesota.

Mrs. Evan Leithe

Through a little research I found

Berthine Myhre Leithe

Born 1871 Died Jan 3 1928

She was married to Even Knute Leithe 1867-1956

Berthine may have also been known as Bertina.

They had at least three children. Mable Bertha Leithe Berquist 1895 –1979, Konow Leithe 1897-1897 and Evelyn Nellie Leithe 1909 – 2005.

I found this information at Find A Grave.  Berthine and Even are both buried at First Lutheran Cemetery Battle Lake Ottertail County Minnesota.

Now I will ask my readers a question: Do you think it is right for a Historical Society to make a statement like this?

Note: Provided courtesy of the Otter Tail County Historical Society (www.otchs.org), which has further information available in its research library and on its web site.

I called them once about another grave, I was told to submit my inquiry with a payment.. I thought that was rude.

Tomorrow I have a photo of Evelyn and another possible sibling.

Thanks for stopping by.

Dr Jeff translated the Danish Hymn:

Better I can not travel
than to travel to my God.
Better I can not answer
when I get the message of Death,
than that I am well prepared
and will gladly follow.
Better I can not rise
than moving into the kingdom of God.
