Photo Number 2727

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

Myrtle, Charlie and Esther

Possibly a Father and two of his daughters.  Too bad there is not a last name.  It is an AZO postcard that was used from 1904 –1918.  I will guess it is from the 1904-1910 time frame.

Thanks for stopping by.

A possibility:

This may be Charles Bosacker and his daughters, Myrtle and Esther. Charles C. Bosacker and his wife, Florence L, are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Le Center Cemetery, Le Sueur county, MN

I will guess this photo was taken about 1895-1900 so we are looking for someone born about 1880-1885.

Hi,

Photo #2400 is my dad. I’ve never seen it before. Do you have any more information about it, such as the name of the shop in Pequot Lakes? I see the thread is about a year old, so I hope it’s still there. My cousin forwarded the info to me last night.

Vic

I replied that I had purchased the photo and I still had it and would mail it as soon as I had a snail mail address.
