Photo Number 719

This is another CdV from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This is an unusual photo treatment.  It is like it is a photo of a photo.  It is all one piece.

This lady may be Mrs. A. Odegard.

There are many notations. Mo 418, Minneapolis Tribune Co.  and Mrs. A. Odegard Cor. Chestnut Street  + 9th Ave.  Grand Forks, N. Dak. and JAJ 1.50 ( Johns mark and the price 1.50 for the card.)

The photographer was A. F. Burnham of Fairbault Minn. he was in business during the years 1878, 1884 and 1895.   I will pick 1895 for the date of this photo because North Dakota did not become a State until 1889… before that time it was known as the Dakota Territory.

Photo Number 716

This is a CdV from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This lady looks awfully tiny to me..but her hands look very large. I wonder what her bonnet with the long ribbons is called? 

This is the back of the photograph.  Note the 8 with an x under it and then a 78.  I think this may mean that the photograph was taken in August of 1878.

Any help with a translation is appreciated.
Kari Knudsdatter ( Knud's daughter)   Llablison ( Slatten)
Nanston Norge  ( Nanston Norway)

The photographer was A. Havee  Kristiania which is now Oslo.

Update from Anonymous:
The photographer is likely this one, although the spelling is slightly different:

http://bit.ly/sxElwI

It says that Auguste Havée was born and trained (with "the famous Professor M. A. Gaudin", Paris) in France. He practiced at the Norwegian west coast in 1859 (Stavanger, Haugesund, Bergen), but moved to Christiania before 1865. He died 1880, which probably means that this photo is from between 1865 and 1880.

The spelling "Kristiania" rather that "Christiania" could indicate that the photo is from after 1877.
Knudsdatter = daughter of Knud

I read the last name as Slattum. There are two Slattum in Norway, both just north of Oslo:
Slattum, Nittedal
Slattum, Nannestad

One might read the lower left text as "Nanstad" (with much good will), which could mean Nannestad? 

Searching Norwegian census data (http://bit.ly/uSLQKO), I found the following inhabitants at the farm Slattum in Nannestad, in 1865:
Jens Hovals., husband, farmer
Kari Knudsd., wife
Dortea, daughter
Berte Marie, daughter

Kari was 62 in 1865, so born approx. 1803.

See also http://bit.ly/tvxIgv (which was instrumental in finding the above census record). Kari Knutsdatter, born 1803, death 1887.

"Hovals." above should probably be "Hovelsen".


Update from Dr Jeff:


Nannestad is often pronounced Nann'stad and that's probably it's spelled incorrectly.

Since she was born 1803, she also experienced the great Norwegian famine of 1809. That may explain the seemingly tiny body.


Update from Ancestry:
Her Father was Knut Larsen, Haga Holter Bidsler  born 1765
Her Mother was Berte Olsdatter, Holter  born in 1762
She married Jens Hovelsen, Slattumeie who was born in 1786

Married on November 01 1832 in Holter kirke, Nannestad

Children: Dortea Jensdatter, Slattum November 05 1831 and Berte Marie Jensdatter, Slattum September 28 1840


Update: 
I located Kari's Great Great Grandson Tore in Canada.  I will be mailing the photo soon:) 


Mailed to Tore on November 21, 2011:)

Cabinet Card from Solway Minnesota

Another Cabinet Card from Solway Minnesota.

This young gals dress has a series of trims down the front, wide ribbons and many pleats.  She also has a large brooch of some sort. Her sleeves seem lifeless and sad.  I wonder if the papers she is holding or the papers on the stand have an real significance?
Pont Soderberg was the photographer in Sutton Nebraska.  I know he was there for sure in 1894 from a list of business's in Sutton .. he  might have been there from 1890 to 1905.

The photographer Ed Wiekhorst from Hooper Neb

This is another Cabinet Card from Solway Minnesota.

The dress is somewhat severe with close fitting sleeves, with a row of buttons and many rows of trim down the front.  The back of the dress looks like it is gathered..it may have had a bustle..I am not sure.  This young lady has a little style of her own..she has added a ribbon with scalloped edges that she tied around her neck.
The very ornate backdrop is spoiled a little by the straw looking matt on the floor.

This is the back of the Cabinet Card. The photographer Ed Wiekhorst from Hooper Neb was in business there in the 1880’s and 1890’s.

The photographer was O.K. Lee from McIntosh Minn

This is a Cabinet Card from Solway Minnesota.

The photographer was O.K. Lee from McIntosh Minn.   Mr. Lee was in business there from 1896 to 1899.
The mutton sleeves, were reminiscent of a mutton chop on a bone, wide and puffy at the top and then becoming narrow and tight near the elbow.  This dress is a perfect example.
We also get a perfect view of the photographer’s fringed chair.

Photo Number 704

These are the last of the WWII photos that are marked with names that were taken in the hospital/clinic setting.

And here is one last photo of Gene.

Tomorrow we will follow a soldier home.  I think it is Gene..but none of the next photos are marked with names..some are marked with a developing date..1946.

I bet she had red hair..just a guess.

Photo Number 694

We continue with the military photos.  These are all marked with the same green pen, the same one that marked the soldiers at Leyte photo.

Shorty and Miss Nuss

Nurses Green Bay Wisconsin

Miss Nuss

This one is marked.  Miss Nuss ( second Lt. Nurse) Green Bay Wisconsin.

When I was in touch with Don from the 96th Division his best guess was that these photos were taken someplace in the Philippines. The photos were developed Sept 05, 1945.  The war was over by then.

Photo Number 690

Today is a special day!  Today marks the Two Year Anniversary of this blog.   I had hoped to have 36 Full Circles by now..instead I will be happy with the 33 that have been accomplished.

I still search out and collect old black and white photographs…especially ones with names on the back.  I frequent local Antique Shops where they all know me by name.

This is a tea party photo that I purchased at Buggy Wheel Antiques near Lake Park Minnesota. It most likely from the 1940’s or the early 1950’s.

Do come again..and thank you for reading ! :)

Photo Number 683

This is another photo from the Antique Shop in Dorset Minnesota.

Finger waves and a fancy wool outer garment with a great big collar.  I bet it was warm.  I wonder if this was a cape..it seems to have darts at the shoulders and down the front.

This photo is not marked.  I think it may be from the 1940’s.

Photo Number 681

This is a Cabinet Card from the Antique Shop In Bemidji Minnesota.

Lee Brothers was at 221 Nicollet Ave from 1889 to 1892. The Lee Bros had five principals.  Peder, Thorwald and Martha Lee and Clifford Trudell and Frederick Rowe. Apparently they were quite successful for many years.  Their entire collection of photographs was donated to the Minnesota Historical Society.
This lady looks very serious.  I wonder if anyone out there knows if a special form was used to make her hair so poufy in the front?

This is the back of the Cabinet Card.

Update from Whowerethey:
she most likely used a rat, which was a pad women made from their own hair. The hair was pulled from brushes and stashed in a hair receiver on the dressing table. These look like little squat vases. When the receiver was full, the hair was removed and bound in net into the shape that was desired. Once made they were used to pad and fill in hair styles that were puffy. They were fastened into the hair with hair pins. Women could also buy false hair from magazine advertisements, like in the back of Godey's or Peterson's.

Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota

This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.  She looks familiar and could be the same gal that we had in Photo Number 678 (The photo booth gal).  They both have the same hair style.

This time she is wearing a 1940’s skirt complete with a kick pleat, and a fitted jacket.

Photo Number 679

This is another photo from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This one is stamped on the back.  Peterson Photo Studio Denver Colorado.  It looks like a high school graduation photo to me from sometime in the 1940’s.  This photo is 2 1/2 inches by 3 3/4 inches.  The photo has a wonderful sepia tone and it has tiny scallops all around the edge of the photo.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

Photo Number 678

This is an old photo booth photo.  Most likely from the 1940’s.

These photos were small, they came out of the booth in strips and you had to cut them apart.  This photo measures 1 and almost 1/2 inch by 1 3/4 inch.  The photos were taken in quick succession..most likely she didn’t like the deer stuck in the headlights look of this photo.  The scenery is stunning..mountains and drapes.  It looks like she has something hanging from the buttonhole of her heavy coat.

I purchased this photo at the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Photo Number 675

This is a photo from Linda’s Antique Shop in Park Rapids.

Someone's Grandmother on a Sunday after church.  She most likely cooked a wonderful meal for her family and walked them to their car after dinner when they took her photo next to the biggest tree in the yard.

Photo Number 674

This is another photo from the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

Julius Tessman of Wadena Minnesota took this photo. He was a photographer in Wadena during 1914.

I thought that the striped blouse was rather striking. This could be a graduation photo, this gal looks young and very beautiful.

You can see the telltale beginnings of mold on this photo, someone stored it in a damp place at one time. I store all my old photos in Rubbermaid containers.  They are protected from excess heat, light and dampness.

Photo Number 658

This is the last in this series of photographs that include glasses.

This one is from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

A gal with a lovely finger wave and a “do” that must have used lots of rags or pin curls to  look so fluffy.  Her glasses say 1940’s to me.  My Mother wore her hair just like this in 1948 and 1949.

Photo Number 657

This is an old photo from the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

The photo is from Clegg’s Studio in Marysville, O.  I find it interesting that Ohio is just known as O.

I drew a blank looking for info about the photographer. I will guess from the silvery look of the photo that it is from the 1910’s to 1920’s. Simple gold rimmed glasses that are shown off in profile, and a big old bow in her hair made this photo interesting to me.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

Photo Number 656

This is an old photo from the late 1920’s or early 1930’s.

The dark rimmed glasses, were very popular right around 1929.

I am having no luck figuring out who the photographer is in Montevideo Minnesota.  Hageson ??  Hanson?

Update from Iggy:


Hanson Studio
302 South First, Montevideo, Minnesota

http://history.nd.gov/archives/manuscripts/inventory/10939.html lists photos taken by this studio late 1920s-30s and 4/16/1933.
