He lived in Beaulieu, Mahnomen, Minnesota from 1895-1920+ <br /><br />I found an Irva New (1898 - 1990), who lived in Floodwood, Saint Louis, Minnesota which is "sort of nearby" (140-ish miles) during that time period. She married Alexander Furgeson Murray (abt 1894) sometime around 1917-ish and they lived in Hibbing. She later married Delwyn Swanson. Her find a grave is http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27659766.

My aunt wrote her r's that way in cursive where you slide up and make a printed r but while it is on the run you move your pen on to the next letter.She wrote my name Larry that way on all of my cards. I have tried it and I see how it was done back then and it seems to be closer to an r than the flat tops we now write. I have kids in school today when I sub, tell me not to write cursive because they can't read it.L.

And it is interesting that one of the females on the bridge is holding a box camera. From about 1900 up into the 1960s no outing was truly complete without a box camera!Charlottanoreply@blogger.com
