I've "rescued" an old Wisconsin Photograph Album including identified
photographs from a number of families including:
JORGENSON from Norway
OLSON from Chicago, IL
HOMME from Wausau, WI and Clintonville or Wittenberg, WI
LINQUIST or LINDQUIST from Merrill, WI
LARSEN from Minneapolis, MN
CHRISTIANSEN from Racine, WI
PETERSEN from Milwaukee, WI
NELSON from Milwaukee, WI and Oconomowoc, WI
THOMPSON from Colby, WI
COYLE from Oconomowoc, WI
DYKE from Oconomowoc, WI and Milwaukee, WI
WILHELMUN from Lake Mills, IA
JACOBSON from Oconomowoc, WI
HOLTE (no location indicated)
Unidentified photographs come from:
Merrill, WI (noted only as Christiana, Julia, and the boys + funeral flower
photographs)
Skien, Norway (noted only as Patica)
Oconomowoc, WI (2 photos - unidentified man and woman)
The album does not appear to be a family album though the handwriting
throughout is all made by the same person it would appear, may simply be an
album of friends and neighbors. Some seem to be related to a church group
including a Reverend and Missionaries. Some indication that the album may
have belonged to "L. JENSEN" as that name appears on in pencil on the backs
of some photographs as if that was the person to whom the photographs were
gifted.
I am hoping to return these photographs to members of their families and
would appreciate your contacting me if you are related to any of these
families or know someone who might be. I've included a complete listing of
the photographs in the album. I've also noted those pages as "Empty" where
a photograph was removed at some earlier time and only the name remains,
just in case it provides a clue to the original ownership of the album.
Thanks,
Shelley
