Hi, I got your email from Find A Grave.  I write a daily blog that features old photos.  This week I have a postcard of Orpha and Floyd  who I think is your Dad and Aunt.   Here is the link to the photo.  I am happy to mail you the photo if you would like it.  Connie at Forgotten Old Photos

Wow! I would love to have the photo.  There is another one floating around somewhere, I think my older sister has it. Dad said once that after the picture was taken, Aunt Orpha fell out of the stroller and broke her nose!  What makes it even better is that Grandma sent it to her friend. I love the old postcards, I have several with letter written on them!

Thanks for your kindness and good work!

Stella

Hi Stella. I will get it off in the mail on Tuesday!~  So happy to send it back to family!   Please let me know when it has arrived safely and with your permission I will relate the story about Orpha and her broken nose in a Full Circle Post!  Thanks also for your Find A Grave entries...without volunteers like you we would never find  anyone!  So thanks! Connie at Forgotten Old Photos! 

Hi Connie,

Another part of the story is that Dad was wearing his first pair of pants in the picture…

Where in Minnesota was the picture found? The Family lived in Hewitt for a while and the grandparents were married in Fergus Falls. I still have relatives in the area as Dad’s Uncle Dolph stayed in the Hewitt area.

I’d be proud to have you share the story in your post.

I actually do a lot more on Ancestry.com than Find a Grave but have been trying to make sure my family is represented as much as I can.

I love genealogy!

Thanks again!

Stella

Hi Stella, I found it at an Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.  I live at Osage which is east of Detroit Lakes and Detroit Lakes is North of Fergus Falls.  I am familiar with Hewitt also is it along Hwy 71 South of us.

You may want to wind your way through the rest of the photos on the blog or use the search box on the left side of the blog I don't think there are any more Woodards but I have over 2000 photos out there.  I should take the time to make an alphabetical list of the peoples names.  I hope to find time this winter to add photos to our relatives and obits at Find A Grave...I am a member but I have never added anything.  Connie

Stella received the photo.

CONNIE,

I thought I had sent you a reply..iT ARRIVED SAFELY. I’ve been having problems with my internet.

Thanks again!

Photo Number 2032

This is a photo from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

M. Brown was the photographer in Wahpeton N.D.

Looks like a family photo with a little girl and a little boy probably taken right around 1900.  The photo measures 5 x 7 inches.  I wonder what the fur rug used to be…a wolf maybe.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

I am going to get eggs to set over here.  Bring 6 hens

This is a picture of the sweet baby where I room.  If you get this postal before Papa comes to meet me. Tell him to bring six chickens in a box.  I have sold them  R.B.E 
It was sent to Miss Inez Edwards Swanville Minn.
The postcard is from 1904 to 1918.
I bet Inez and R.B. were sisters!
Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:
Rose Barningham Edwards was Inez's mother. 

Rose was a widow in 1930 and a boarder in Swanville, Morrison, Minnesota. I think the postcard was sent sometime before father, James Andrew Edwards died in 1920.. Inez was a teacher in a public school and never married. Her sister had a big family. Just who this baby is a bug question mark. The 1920 US census doesn't show Rose "rooming" anywhere.
