Crosby, North Dakota, about 1918
This is only one photo album in a large collection of mostly unidentified photos owned by my mother, Margaret Carlson. She has identified the people here as Carlson and Hanmer children. One photo is dated Aug. 20, 1918. Only a few photos have been identified, and those only with first names.
Page 1: See Page 1 enlarged. Two photos of presumably a Hanmer child. The buildings in the background should help identify a location. |
Pages 2 & 3 : See Page 2 enlarged and see Page 3 enlarged. The girl holding the baby on page 3 is almost certainly Margaret Carlson. |
Pages 4 & 5 : See Page 4 enlarged and see Page 5 enlarged. The boy holding the child on page 4 is almost certainly Bernard (Barney) Carlson. That's probably him with the hat as well. The others must be members of the Hanmer family. |
Pages 6 & 7 : See Page 6 enlarged and see Page 7 enlarged. Page 6: "So thirsty", and "Buddy & Auntie".Page 7: "Aug 20, 1918. Picnic"; and "Buddie & Billy". These refer to Buddy & Billy Hanmer. |
