From the Past

This is a picture of my paternal grandfather taken in 1910. I think it's a remarkably clear photo to be 100 years old. This picture was most likely taken in Overland, North Dakota where they lived at that time. Love that bowler hat. Beside him sits my uncle - firstborn to my grandmother and grandfather. He was a twin. His sister died sometime before this photo was taken.


This is the same child, my uncle. The fancy clothes could certainly be worn by a little girl. This photo was on one of those old postcards.

The back of the postcard reads:
"Florence, this is our boy's picture. What do think of him?
He has got a chunk of bread in his mouth, guess you see that and a teddy bear in his hand - (ans?)
Ella & Tom"
