Unknown lady, Blooming Prairie, Owatonna, Austin, Minnesota

Unknown lady likely from Blooming Prairie, Owatonna, or Austin, MN. From what I recall she was a friend of my grandmother's, Mary Ann Zupp. However I could be wrong and she might just be a friend of the Zupp/Norgaard/Decker family.

Betty Lou, Minneapolis or Clarkfield, Minnesota

This lovely lady is Betty Lou. Unfortunately we do not know anything else about her. She is likely from Clarkfield or Minneapolis and was friends with the Gunderson's or Larson's. The photo frame has The Miller Studios in Minneapolis.

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.

Young gentleman Clarkfield or Minneapolis, Minnesota


Unknown young gentleman likely from Clarkfield or possibly Minneapolis. Would have been a relative or neighbor to the Gunderson's or Larson's most likely. No marking on photo or frame.

Richard Storlie, Clarkfield or Minneapolis, Minnesota

Per a family member's memory this cute child pictured above is a Storlie- son of Charlie Storlie most likely. If so, he would be from Clarkfield or Minneapolis and the family would have been a friend of the Gunderson's or Larson's. The photo frame has "With Love, Richard" (looks like a woman's handwriting) and Gopher Studio 3010 Hennepin Ave. Minneapolis on it.

Above is a photo we found after the above post. We are fairly certain these photos are both Richard. This photo frame has Tintsmaster's Minneapolis on it and it is also etched into the photo on the left lower portion. We hope these photos find their way to Richard and his family.

Unknown Navy Man from Clarkfield, MN

Unknown Navy man. Per a family members memory, this gentleman was a friend of the Gunderson's from Clarkfield, MN. Unfortunately, he couldn't recall his name.

Brothers or Twins from Clarkfield, MN. Merv and ? Year 1948


 Brothers? Twins? These boys are probably from Clarkfield, MN and were friends of the Gunderson family. One is named Merv with the year of 1948 and the other unknown. Both photo frames are labeled Lundgren Studio-Minneapolis.

Amanda Selness and three unknown ladies, Clarkfield, MN


These four ladies are from Clarkfield, MN. This was sent to our great-great grandmother from her friend Amanda Selness (whose family lived in Clarkfield at one point per records we've seen). Which one is Amanda, we are not sure. Nor are we sure whom the other three ladies are, but hopefully someone else out there does. We estimate this photo to be from around 1920 (feel free to tell us if we are wrong).

Unknown Babies from Minnesota








8) We are pretty sure it's a Larson baby from the Clarkfield, MN or surrounding areas (they also lived in Dawson, MN)


7) unknown baby, could be from Minneapolis, Clarkfield or surrounding areas, Almelund area...you're guess is as good as ours

6) Unknown baby probably from the Clarkfield, MN area. In with photos from the Haugen's, Gunderson's, and Larson's from that area.



5) (above) Unknown baby likely from the Clarkfield, MN area.




4) (Above) Unknown Baby, likely from Clarkfield or Minneapolis, MN. Probably a friend/relative of the Gunderson's or Larson's. No labels or dates.












                              3) (Above) Unknown baby, likely from Clarkfield, MN. 
No label or date.


2) (Above) Unknown baby, likely from Clarkfield, MN. 
No label or date.

 
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.

Uknown girl, Clarkfield, MN

Unknown girl, likely from Clarkfield, MN. Possibly a Larson, Gunderson, Haugen, or a family friend of theirs. No labels on photo or frame around it.

Alfred and Louisa Hegren, Clarkfield, MN

This photo is labeled Louisa Hegren who is the wife of Alfred Hegren. They were neighbors of the Gunderson's in Countryside (which would be in Clarkfield, MN). Portrait has frame from Victor Erickson Studio in Minneapolis 1433 E. Franklin.


 After the initial picture was posted, we came across this picture of both Alfred and Louisa Hegren. The note attached said they had a farm by Gerhard Larson in Clarkfield and they were neighbors.
