Alvina Anderson Bolte

She looks like a school girl to me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:

Alvina Catherine Anderson
Birth Date: 4 Dec 1894
Birth Place: Nerstrand, Rice County, Minn.
Marriage Date: 21 Feb 1920
Marriage Place: Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Father: Ole Anderson
Mother: Annette Jacobson
Spouse: Ernest Christel Bolte

Update from Jacqi:
What's interesting is that Ernst Bolte, despite the German-sounding name, was born in Hawaii, and was apparently a widower when he married Alvina. Best I can tell from the 1930 census, they had two children in common by that time--a son and a daughter--and perhaps more by the time of the 1940 census.

It looks like the family settled in the northern California Bay area, in Berkeley. Alvina died there on January 10, 1993, but I haven't been able to locate her obituary to find any descendant information.

This is a photo from the second antique shop in Dorset Minnesota.

Straus & McKay were at 317 Cedar Avenue Minneapolis

According to the Minnesota Historical Society they were in business only one year 1911.  So that is the date we will use for this photo.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is a CdV from the antique shop in Crosby Minnesota.

On the back of the CdV we find that ME Tyler was the Artist at Union City, Ind

Indiana Cousins Peacock

Indeed there are people named Peacock who lived in Randolph County Indiana.  John and Rebecca were pioneers, they had a son named Amos who married Rachael born Sept 1 1837, they had a daughter named Annie Laurie Peacock Born Oct 7, 1866.   I imagine there are many other possibilities also.

I think this photo was taken  in the 1870’s sometime.

Thanks for stopping by.

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

A wonderful photo, and if you are to go by “the hair rules”  which some mothers obeyed.  This is two boys with hair parted on the side and two girls with hair parted down the middle.  The smallest child made me smile.

Erickon Studio was the photographer in Fargo ND.  Erickson was working in town as a photographer from 1903 to 1916.  It was 1903 –1908 that his business was known as Erickson Studio so we can date this photo to that time frame.

To bad we don’t know who they are.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ribble was the photographer in St Peter Minn

Here is another clue to this Johnson family.

Warren Johnson

Now we are looking for the Johnsons with a Warren and a Brooksy with a parent of Geo possibly.
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from MJM
The 1900 US Census for St Peter, Nicollet, MN has the following family:
Geo Johnson, head, born March 1869, age 33, occupation barber
Ollie Johnson, wife, born April 1882, age 28, 2 children, 1 living
Warren Johnson, son, born May 1899
(year of birth and age for Ollie are a bit off)

MN birth index shows a Warren Ferry Johnson born to G. W. Johnson and Laura Aurelia Johnson on 12 May 1899, Nicollet County.

MN death index shows a Warren F Johnson born 12 May 1899, died 22 Jan 1989 Becker County, MN, mothers maiden name Wilcox.

A WWI draft registration for Warren Farry Johnson list his next of kin as Mrs Ollie A Charlton of Goodhue MN.

Brooksy Johnson

I wonder how and if he is related to gramma and Geo Johnson from yesterday?

Thanks for stopping by.

Update:

I found a Brooks Y R Johnson Born March 2 1894 Died April 9 1898 His parents were G W and O A Johnson. He is buried in Le Suer County at the Sharon Cemetery. 
St Peter and Le Suer are 11 miles apart.

From MJM:

On the index to MN deaths and burials, the parents of Brooks Y Johnson (1894-1898) are listed as George Johnson and Ollie Johnson. The MN marriage index shows a marriage on 11/24/1889 in Le Sueur County between George Johnson and Ollie Wilcox.
