ORPHAN CABINET PHOTO # 93 Hard Working Family LaCrosse Wisconsin

Here is another wonderful vintage cabinet photo from my collection. It is of a hard working family from the LaCrosse Wisconsin area. Picture is from the early 1900's probably showing mother, father and two young girls. Sadly I do not know who they are.

On the back is written the names Papperfuss of Lamorlle Minnesota and Mrs. A hackbart Lamoille Minnesota with what looks like address by section and the comment of $15.00 each.

What is the meaning of this. Did the owner of the photo use this as a scratch paper to jot land they were thinking of buying or is a clue to the people in the photo.

We probably will never know but I would love to hook this up with family member some day.

Thanks for visiting me here as I share some of my vintage treasures.... Grace

FORGOTTEN ORPHAN PHOTO # 92 OF A SMILING BABY EARLY 1900'S

Take a peek at this adorable baby picture I found in Texas at an antique store a few months ago. What a total doll of a baby in Sepia. I am guessing it is a girl because of the ruffled bonnet but who knows for sure. Wide smile and bright eyed little baby. Not sure of the age of the photo but I am guessing from the early 1900's to 1920's.

Sadly we have no name on the back so no way to identify. These can be displayed in a vintage bowl. Who doesn't like to look at darling babies.

thanks for stopping by.. Grace
