She looks real 1940’s to me.  I wonder if she lived in the house in the background?

Wanda Nordstrom Rothhouse

This is a smaller photo it measures 2 inches by 4 inches.

The little girl wears a dark colored dress which looks like velvet to me and a huge bow in her hair, she is posed in front of a country scene.  I will guess that this photo was taken about 1916 to 1920.

You don’t often see a date like this..I believe it is called British English where the day comes before the month and year.

Talk about a photo speaking to you..and the price was a quarter so who could refuse. Ha!

Four women with huge black bows and a small child

Sept 27, 1910
Hello Jennie soon when the roads ain’t as muddy I’ll be over and spend a whole day with you girls.  Maybe it will be the two “old maids” standing on this picture.  The picture is not so good as it ot to been, you know our good looks.  With love Helen
It was sent from Pelican Rapids, Minn on Sept 28 at 8AM in 1910.  It was addressed to Miss Jennie Knutson Pelican Rapids Minn.
In the corner she wrote: Well how are you hope it will find you all well H. S.?
So..I take it that Helen ? and Jennie Knutson are the two gals standing in the photo.

Update from Iggy:
Helen Jacobson married Herman R Pearson sometime between 1910 and 1920 (she has a 5 year old daughter by 1920 US Census) and she moved to Erhards Grove - and was Jennie Knutson's nearby neighbor.

Jennie had a sister a year or two younger than her named Alma (who also, never married). I would like to think she is the woman in the far right in front - she and the standing one on the left look very alike (to me).

From Anonymous Hero
Clyde Edward Lilleberg [January 24, 1910 - March 10, 1949] died at 39 years and is buried in Hillsboro, which is not far from Cummings in Traill County, North Dakota.
Clyde's parents, John Henry Lilleberg [11/24/1874 - 12/1/1943] and Christine Lilleberg [9/10/1876 - 3/21/1966], are buried in the Highland Lutheran Cemetery in Cummings, Traill County, North Dakota.

From Iggy:
The 1910 US census shows Clyde's parents as John Henry and Christina.

The 1930 US census shows Clyde living alone with his widowed grandfather, Gunhild Fingerson (age 74) in Hillsboro, Traill, North Dakota.

Clyde married an Agnes and was living in Duluth, MN in 1940 were he worked as a salesman for a wholesale meat packing company (1940 US Census). They were both the same age and appear to have had no children.

Clyde had a younger brother, Stanley Gilmore Lilleberg (23 Mar 1911 - 10 Apr 1991) buried in Mohall, Bottineau County, North Dakota. He married Violet M Benz sometime after 1940.

Isabelle Aldrich  May 26th Age six months

An Azo Postcard from 1904 to 1918.  Addressed to Mrs. Eld ?  Bury in Homequist S.D.
Dear Millie, Rec’d your card some time ago and am sending the baby as I said I would.  It is a good picture of her.  You can decide for yourself who she looks like.  Every body around here says she looks like Will.  Does the wind blow any down there It is fierce up here. With Love Lena
There is a show in town today but I did not think that any place for a baby so we stayed at home + worked. Am putting my bed room carpeting down.  Rather late for such work don’t you think.
When I transcribed my husbands Grandmothers Diary from 1911 to 1913 she talked of going to town to the moving pictures show..it was a big deal.  Carpets moved around was also some thing that was mentioned in her diaries, but usually as a spring house cleaning task.
