Unknown people from Clarkfield, MN. Larson, Haugen, or Gunderson.

 These photos are likely all from the Clarkfield, MN area. They were in Minnie Larson's photo book. She passed away in 1940. We feel confident these are Larson's, Haugen's, or Gunderson's from the Clarkfield area. Do you recognize anyone? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

 The two photos above are likely Larson's. They were next to other Larson's that we could identify.

 The photo above-Ben Gunderson on right, Pretty positive Gurina Gunderson is on the left, others unknown

 

The photo above we believe are Haugen's. We have other photos with some of these people in it. We can tell Gunderson's and Larson's pretty well, hence why we feel these are Haugen's.  If you are from the Haugen line, we'd love to connect with you as we have many other photos.

We think this photo are Haugen's as well.









































Likely Larson's.

Bill, unknown, Montana, Minneapolis, Clarkfield, Minnesota

This young gentleman is named Bill. Probably lived in Minneapolis or Clarkfield next to the Gunderson's, or potentially related. Inside the photo frame are handwritten words "Hannah, Benny, Arden. Love Bill". It was sent to the Gunderson when they lived in Minneapolis based on the year the photo looks. Photo frame has Meiers, Polson, Mont. on it.

Soren Vereide, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1935

This gentleman is Soren Vereide. The note attached says he is a distant relative to the Gunderson's and lived in Minneapolis the same time the Gunderson's moved to Minneapolis in 1935. Possibly helped Arden Gunderson or worked with or for the family- note says "work and Arden's arm". Arden had an accident when he was a child that left his arm not working properly. Arden would have been 12 years old in 1935. Perhaps Soren brought him to appointments or school or helped him with other stuff.

Update: We were able to figure out more about Soren. His mother is Rakel Oline Olsson, who is sister to Agenta Eide Gunderson. Both came to MN from Norway. Soren's father is Kristian E. Vereide.

1) (Above) We are pretty sure these two photos are of the same baby (unknown name), highly likely from Clarkfield, MN and highly likely a Larson, Gunderson, or Haugen. If we had to guess, based on evidence from our personal researching, the baby is a Larson. Unfortunately the one photo has a tear on it, we did the best we could with scanning. Feel free to let us know if you think these are not the same baby. The frames were similar.
