Spring Creek Lutheran Church confirmation class, Yellow Medicine County, MN

 This is a confirmation class from Spring Creek Lutheran Church in Yellow Medicine County. We're thinking it's from the mid-1930s based on our relatives age. The one person we know for sure is Arden Gunderson, who is third from left in the top row. We feel confident the man sitting in the front row and in the photo below is Reverend Jorgen Emil Hanson Akre. We know Arden attended Spring Creek Lutheran Church and found Rev. Akre's obituary online stating he worked there from April 1929 to June 1951. His obituary link is below. The remainder of the people are unknown.

  1. I do not believe this is a photo of Rev. J. E. H. Akre. I have photos of Rev. Akre (my great-grandfather) and I don't think think this looks like him.
