Unknown gentleman, lady, and baby. April 1968. Likely Minneapolis, MN.

We have not a clue to who these folks might be. They were from Arden Gunderson's slides, so friends of Arden's from when he lived in South Minneapolis. Date on photos are April 1968.

Two ladies from Austin, MN- J. C. Pickett and Bermer

After speaking with my grandmother, she says they were friends of the Zupp family in Austin, MN- J. C. Pickett and Bermer. She couldn't remember their full names or if they are spelled correctly. Anyone recognize them?

Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Clarkfield, MN


This lovely postcard we purchased from ebay. It's of the Norwegian  Evangelical Lutheran Church in Clarkfield, MN.

The postcard is stamped 1908 and was sent to a Nettie Klovstad from her cousin Caroline.

On the front, you can see it says for C. G. Sorenson. We're not sure what's before that writing as the corner is damaged.

Curly's Theatre Cafe, Minneapolis, MN. January 8, 1947.


This is a photo taken at Curly's Theatre Cafe in Minneapolis, MN. Dated January 8, 1947. The gentleman on the right is Arden (Art) Gunderson of Minneapolis. The remainder of the people I am not sure- possibly friends from the Minneapolis Park Board. There are two other signatures that accompany this photo are from a Sadie and a Frances.





Clarkfield Class Picture, March 29, 1912. Clarkfield, MN. Yellow Medicine County.




This is one of our favorites! The photo we had with name of teacher and date on it. We also have a paper (The Clarkfield Advocate), where it talks about this picture. Henry Appleseth is the person who wrote into the paper stating who everyone is (with married names as well). We've added commentary to help further identify. Enjoy!
