1925-1
( comments) Back of postcard "Taken June, 1925 Til mormar fron Frances" Dad added "Irene 8 years" Hence Fran on left, Irene right June 1925
1925-2
( comments) No info on photo or label. Given that this is from a Hanson album, I will make an educated guess that this photo shows; Irene in left background, Doug, Emma, and Howard. I guess summer 1925.
1925-3
( comments) "Edward Olson (Irene's Mothers Brother)" Olaf Edward Olson was born 1875 and his wife was Ella Nelson. Don guesses 1925
1925-4
( comments) Allen labeled this Marge Lund. She was born 1923 so guess 1925
1925-5
( comments) Dad labeled "Elmera and Evelyn Larson Al Ljung" Assume summer 1925.
1925-6
( comments) Another photo same day as previous. Elmera, Evie, Al summer 1925
1925-7
( comments) Dad labeled "Evelyn Larson Elmyra Larson Edythe Erickson Al Ljung" However it is a small dark photo (I have photoshopped it) and I am certain he is wrong. I don't recognize anyone. For now assume 1925.
1925-8
( comments) Looks like same unknown persons as previous photo Summer 1925
1925-9
( comments) Dad's label on top of this page applies to about the next 13 album pages (roughly 100 photos) "Photos from time Ljungs lived on farm purchased from Olaf Johnson - N.E. of Liberty School - 1925 - 1932 - Lost farm during drought and Depression" No label on this photo. I believe it shows Allen, Evie and Elmera. Note porch on house (later removed) Assume 1925.
1925-10
( comments) Dad laabeled "Al's wonderful leg-powered "car" Edythe with wagon" Note porch is still on house. Looks like summer 1925.
1925-11
( comments) Dad labeled "Al Ida "Mom" and Jiggs" Looks like similar time to previous photo, but not same day. Assume summer 1925
1925-12
( comments) No label, but this is Allen and Jiggs. Assume summer 1925.
1925-13
( comments) Dad labeled "Steady Prince and Tricky Barney on hay rake" Clearly Albin, Allen and Edythe. Assume summer 1925.

Peterson - Annie Schelin - Hilda Peterson - Lawrence Sch. - Marie Pet. - Edythe Erickson - Margaret Sch. - Lois Sch. - Helen Sch. - Allen Lj and George Schelin in front" Annie Schelin and Hilda Peterson are sisters of Ida. So these are aunts, uncles and cousins of Dad. Looks like 1925.
1925-15
( comments) Dad labeled Clara and Emery Ljung with sons Warren on left and Byron on right. Byron was born about 1919 so this is about 1925.
1925-16
( comments) Dad labeled "Fritz Severson Grandpa to Albin and Emery" Fritz died at 91 in 1927 so assume 1925 since Dad put this in the 1925 - 1932 section of photos.
1925-17
( comments) Dad labeled next 4 photos "After seeing a movie at the State Theater on a Sunday afternoon the Elmer Larson family and the Ljung's innspect Ida Ljungs flower and vegetable garden which was near a corn field" See last of 4 photos for identification of persons.

1925-27
( comments) Article written by Allen Ljung about A. C. Hanson horses. May 21, 1980, but file with 1925 photos of horses.

1925-30
( comments)
1925-31
( comments) Dad wrote on back "Property of Irene Ljung 1103 Hawthorne - Alex" My guess is this photo was used when Dad wrote an article about A.C.s' horses. It is a copy of ZL5 004. Thus keep in in 1925 even though the article was probably in the 70's.
1925-32

1925-33
( comments) A.C. Hanson horses. Guess 1925

1925-38
( comments) Dad labeled "80 acre farm - section 2 Alexandria Township Olaf M. Johnson and his father, prior to him, owners till 1924. Owned by Albin Ljung 1924 - 1932. Pictures taken summer 1970" Dad also added "Part of house has log walls." Allen took 11 photos. In 2017 I looked at Google Earth and it looked like all of the buildings had been destroyed and everything overtaken by trees. I believe I have photos as late as say 2010 showing buildings still standing. I am going to put all of Dad's 1970 photos in 1925 album, because that is where we have first photos of this house without porch.

( comments) John Martinson emailed these 5 photos that he got from Janet Dec 8, 2014. This is the Forsgren farm. Janet says that this is the farm her mother Evie grew up on (Evie's parents were Elmer Larson and Ida Forsgren. Photo has "Daddy Forsgren Farm" no date Janet and Allen info - Forsgren's farm--Dad wasn't sure, but Janet is quite positive that it is her great-grandparent's farm. Ida was one of the children--sorry I don't know if it was Emil or someone else--dad said there were lots of unrelated Forsgrens around. Ida Frosgren married Elmer Larson. They had two girls: Elmera and Evelyn. Elmera married Marvin Dobberpuhl--and they lived on that same farm that Elmera and Evie grew up on. Evie married Vernon Hanson. Marvin and Mera (Elmera) lived on the Forsgren/Larson/ Dobberpuhl farm while we were growing up--Ron worked on the farm several summers--and Janet helped detassle corn some summers when we were in HS. Elmer Larson was a cousin to Ida Ljung. Albin and Ida Ljung were the witnesses for Elmer and Ida Larson's wedding--and vice-versa as Dad remembers it. Ida Forsgren was a sister to Jenny--I have that in my notes from Dad--no idea how it fits into anything--also that Gust Forsgren (attended Fahlun)--was no relation to these Forsgrens. July 2017 - put this in 1925 when Evie was growing up.
