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.

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.
