Photo Number 1049

I found this old photo in a folder at an antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota. Persian Room 1945 Brainerd Antiques

The Persian Room was some fancy place for the Army Air Corps to meet the Navy.

Photo Number 1047

This is a photo that was stuck in the very first box of photos that I purchased three years ago.

Military and a wall

I called it Military and a wall..but I now realize that the soldier is standing on top of a bunker.  It must have been taken overseas someplace.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Remember to thank a soldier!

Armistice Day:

At the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 the guns were silenced and the “war to end all wars” was finally over after four years. The Armistice agreement was signed. The Allies claimed victory and Germany was defeated.  It was called Armistice Day for many years. After WWII it was changed to Veteran’s Day.

Photo Number 705

This is the continuation of WWII era photos.  These are all taken in the United States.
A Soldier returns home to family.  There are many photos with different people..I chose this one because it shows a rural area.

The photos were developed on Velox paper.  None of them are marked with a name or a date.
I think this Soldier may be the same soldier that we have seen several times..the one named “Gene”. What do you think?

I still believe that these were Gene’s photos or someone close to him.  We don’t have a last name for Gene…but I bet his sister or his wife was named Margaret whose last name was Lundborg..but that could be her married name not her maiden name.

Update:


 From Iggy
Margaret Elizabeth Larson nee Lundborg (b. July 4, 1915 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania d. April 30, 2010 at age of 94 in Brainerd, Crow Wing, MN) She was the daughter of Samuel (b. 1870 in Sweden d. Dec. 2 1942) and Selma Lundborg (b. 1876 in Sweden)


I found this Obituary for a Margaret Lundborg. 
Margaret Elizabeth Larson, 94, of Brainerd, died Friday, April 30, 2010, at Harmony House.

Services for Margaret will be 11 a.m., Friday, May 7, at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Brainerd.

Margaret was born July 4, 1915, in Pittsburgh, Pa. Early in her life, Margaret moved with her family to the Brainerd lakes area. She was united in marriage to Harry Larson. Harry died in 1962. Margaret owned and operated Lundberg Jewelry in Brainerd for many years. She was a member of Lutheran Church of the Cross, Zonta, Eastern Star, and a 50-year member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She enjoyed the outdoors.

Margaret will be missed by her cousin, Ruth Maples, of Brainerd; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry and her parents.





Update from Jacqi:
Here is a link that goes with this Margaret.
