( comments)
These 7 photos were in Irene's photo wallet that she carried for ID. I will put all in 1972 as she was using it when she had her stroke. I will also put individual photos in appropriate year. 1972 On back Mom wrote "Mickey December 1946 (crossed out) January 1947 6 mos" "3" Mickey Jan 1947 I used the number stamped on the back of photos by the processor to help date photos. Also most of Mom and Dad's photos in 1947 were medium sized rectangular photos (3 1/8 in x 2 1/16 in not including border). At the start of the year the borders were smooth edged and later on the wavy edges. As always it looks like many photos were given to them. These photos often have different sizes and or borders. Most importantly, they have a processor number that shows up only on photos where the giver is present and also usually on a small number of photos. In 1947 I believe they got photos from the Eilers and Carl Johnson's. There are also the photos people sent out at Christmas etc. The processing numbers that come from a Ljung camera in 1947 are: "3" left over from 1946 into Feb 1947. Roll "16" was taken April - Memorial Day "A31" used late May - June. "64" used July - Aug. "B99" covers photos taken late Aug - Sept. "D42" covers Oct. I am certain I don't know the camera for every photo, but the above processing numbers seem to have enough photos to have come from one roll of film (16 photos?) and show up in enough different days to make it likely that they come from a Ljung camera. There is no evidence the Ljung's used more than one camera this year.

Mom wrote on back "Mickey & Irene January, 1947" "27" I think this room is the room at 1103 that Ken and Don later shared. At the time it was being finished off as a room for Grandpa. I am dating as Feb 1947 - see next photo.

Mom wrote on back "Irene Mickey February 1947 with Fall 1946 crossed out" "27" Clearly same day as ZL9 558 which has a Jan date. I am going to date both as February, 1947 given that Mikki is standing.

Mom wrote on back "February or March (January crossed out) 1947 Donnie Kenny" "27" On Don's new tricycle in Grandpa's upstairs bedroom. I am guessing it was taken same day as Mom and Mikki in this room so Feb 1947.

Mom wrote on back "Return That everlasting suit! January 47" "27" Is this a Navy outfit originally worn by Allen? I can't find a photo of Allen wearing it, but it would make sense as Albin and Ida worked in Navy Yard when Allen was born. I am putting this photo in March 1947 although it could be Jan.

Mom wrote on back "Alice and Bill's 25th Wedding Anniversary June, 1947""A31" I recognize Allen (standing far left), Bill (standing 5th from left) and Harold Hanson (knelling far right) My guess is that Chuck Lund is the 16 year old boy standing 6th from left next to his father.

Mom wrote on back "Alice & Bill's 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Sandstone June 1947" "A31"The order of the first 5 on the left is Marjorie (can't positively ID her, but it makes sense as her husband is next to her), Stuart Swanson (Marjories husband), Chuck, Alice, Bill (squating), the next 5 persons include unknown man standing in back, Jo Hanson (I think), Eleanore, Irene with Ken on her lap. The next 4 top to bottom are another unknown man, Zana (seems like only 13 year old girl), and Ardyce holding Don on her lap. The only others I recognize are Harold holding Nolan and Collette sitting next to them. Finally, I think Roger is standing just behind Nolan. See 1945 Family Lund photo to help ID Lund family. I could have reversed Eleanore and Ardyce. Note Mikki must be napping and Allen probably took photo.

Mom wrote on back "June 29 1947 Sandstone Roger, ____ Norberg, Donnie" "A31" The order left to right is Norberg kid (Not in our family tree), Don (in clothes with stripes) and Roger Lund This must be the Lund back yard. I think I see the grandite face next to highway behind their house in background.

Mom wrote on back "Mickey Spring 1947" "64" But "64" photos seem to start after June 29 which was last "A31" so say early July.

Dad wrote "Mikki" on back. On the back of another copy someone wrote "Christmas 1947" However, looking at Christmas Eve photos of Mikki, her hair was much longer by then so maybe it was given as a Christmas present but I believe it was earlier. No date info. Mikki looks about 12 months so July 1947.

Mom wrote on back "Donnie Kenny Donald David Summer 1947" "B99" My guess is this is Gilbertson farm. I know they had a big barn like one in back. Note Myrtle. Family must have come in it, which means Ken and I must have been in the rumble seat. B99 indicates late Aug, 1947
|
1947-55
( comments)
Mom wrote on back "October 1947 Mickey Donald David Kenny Donnie" "B99" Probably at Gilbertson farm. Mom is incorrect about date. Their is another B99 photo at with Gilbertson's in same clothes and it is most likely late August 1947.

Mom wrote on back "Kenny Allen Donnie Fall, 1947" "D42" Dad built the stands to hold the oil drums that held heating oil. A small oil "tanker" truck used to come over with a long hose to fill the tanks up every so often. From fallen leaves in later photo looks like October 1947.

Mom wrote on back "Howard Agnes Alice Roger December 1948" "D42" D42 was a processor stamp used on end of 1947 photos. So I beleive Mom is incorrect and this is Dec 1947. Furthermore the black on white license plate is more likely to be a Minnesota 1947 plate (although examples exist of 1948 plates like this) Also if you strain your eyes you might be able to faintly read 47 as part of Minnestoa 47 on bottom of plate. Dec 1947.

Mom wrote on back "Nov 1947 Donnie and Kenny" "299Z" Also I believe these photos are all Christmas Eve 1947 despite the Nov date Mom put on some of them. Here Don and Ken are playing with a new game board that Dad probably built for us. Actually looks purchased - so that would mean the Eilers gave it to us. There are 4 photos of the game board. I tried to put them in chronological order based on people and the block patterns. Do you agree? Christmas Eve 1947

Anna wrote on back "Emil our son Evald his wife his daughter his granddaughter me Lila her daughter 4 generations Xmas 1947" The oldest generation is Emil Forsgren (standing right) and his wife Anna Mathea Hanson (seated right) Anna is the older sister of A.C. Hanson (so she is Irene's aunt). Evald Forsgren (standing 2nd from right) is their son and his wife Caroline Ryan is standing 2nd from left. Their daughter, June Forsgren is standing 1st on right. The girl in the highchair is the daughter of June. Seated is Lila with her daughter. I am guessing that Lila is a sister of June although the family tree has no record of her.
