Gundas Funeral

Mrs Borge Holverson Halvorson Park Rapids

Gundas is sometimes translated as a female person.   However it could also be a name.  Did Mrs Borge Holverson/Holversan  Halvorson miss the funeral or was this her funeral?
The photograph was developed in Minneapolis in Nov.
Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Number 115

This photo has my curiosity, who in the world do you suppose is in this coffin?   It is a fairly large photo, 5x7 and the matting board is about 8x10.  So it wasn't  just a  passing thing.. ha!

  This is the mark on the back, a stamp?   I could not find out anything about a photographer by this name.  The only hit I had was concerning a Free Soil political party.. do you suppose that this photo is foreign ..since the Photograph is spelled with an e at the end?  Do you suppose someone important died and this was sent to family members in America?   What a sad way to get news of a relatives death, but he or she did have some fairly nice flowers.

Thanks for stopping, do come again:)
Update from Iggy:
