Photo Number 660

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

Christmas 1928  Phila Emma Bishop.

I have heard this name before..Bishop from North Dakota…they were very successful wealthy farmers.

This childs mother ( Grandmother?) was most likely Emma Strehlow Bishop and her father (Grandfather?) J R Bishop.

The photo yesterday may have been her grandfather. ( Great Grandfather)
