June 1958

Originally this photo was back and white with numerous scratches and tears. I cleaned the print up to the best of my abilities.

The original image is stamped with the date of June 1958. There is also a little information on the print. Unfortunately, no names are given. But the photo reads “in part at St. Mary’s, Ohio. Dressed for dinner.”

I wonder if they were attending a specific event like a birthday party or reunion.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Young Couple-1923

I know there’s still a couple spots on this image. But the original photograph was damaged. I didn’t want to lose all of the details. Anyway, I purchased this image as part of an auction lot.

Unfortunately, the only information on the photo is the year-1923. I wonder if the young couple are standing in front of their new home. Or perhaps, they just got engaged.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Shoberg Family

I picked this photo up at an auction sale. Unfortunately, the image does not contain a date. But I would place the image in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I am basing this guess on the clothing, hair style, and the type of photo.

The photo does have details on the back:

Henry & Emma Shoberg, Mathilda Shoberg Sarver Killeen, & Ellen V. Shoberg Dahlin.

I am assuming this is a family gathering. There are others swimming in the river. Perhaps, the photo was taking at a family reunion or just a day out.

Early 1940s Photo

Like most of my photos, I do not have any information. From the style of her dress and shoes, I am placing this photo in the early 1940s. She appears to be posing by a flower bush. I wonder if her dress is for a special occasion?

Of course, I am only guessing.

Until next time…peace

Packing Up

Here’s another photo from an estate sale Unfortunately, this image does not contain any written information.

The background shows rustic type cabins. There’s even deer heads sticking out over the entry ways. I would like to think they were on a vacation retreat. The hood is up which makes me think they are getting ready for the trip home. The gentleman was most likely checking all the fluid levels before traveling.

Google suggests the car is a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster. But I cannot confirm the details. If someone is a car buff, please let me know if the information is correct.

The car year does coincide with the photo era. I am placing the photo in the early 1950s.

Farm Bureau Picnic-1951

I bought this image as part of an auction sale. I love the fact this image has information written on the back. The downside…it’s hard to read.

The photo was taken in 1951 at a Farm Bureau Picnic. The gentlemen in the photo are: Walter Brewsinger (?), Frank Forshee, Art Kuhl, _____ Horning, Rha Arnold, & Don Johnson.

Of course, after starring at this photo, I wonder the flavor of pie.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Happy Mother’s Day!

I believe this is a mom and new baby. I think, the baby is a boy. But I am not 100% certain. It’s hard to tell sometimes in older photos.

I have a lot of photos of this family. I believe the timeframe is the 1940s.

What do you think?

Once again…Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there.

Until next time…peace
