On the back of this photo, written in pencil, is the date, Sunday, May 28, 1911. The young people in the photo appear to be dressed up. Since, there was a special notation that the photo was taken on a Sunday, I am going to guess the photo was taken at church. Perhaps, there was a confirmation or a special Sunday gathering.
The back of the photo contains names. But I cannot guarantee I am copying them correctly. The pencil markings are faded in places. I also cannot tell you the order of the names in correlation with the children. But, to the best of my knowledge, the information reads:
- S.M.E. Orchestion
- Sunday, May 28, 1911
- Alice Carlquist
- Elsie Erickson
- Helene Norberg
- Eva Carlquist
- Edna Esseer
- E.E. Itarry Anderson
- Laurie Carlquist
- Gust Magnuson
I wish I could read the plaque at the right of the photo, hanging on the brick. I think the information on the plaque would provide more clues to the photo.
What do you think?
