South Bend Indiana Cabinet Photo Unknown Young Boy

Today I am sharing this young boy from South Bend Indiana.

 Photographer is A McDonald Studios.  Great back design. 

Looking at the photo itself I can not understand what is happening on the left side of photo.

 I do not see his left arm and there is a large piece of clothing or something else covering that area . 

He has the saddest look on his face. 

Any one have any ideas regarding this Looks like he may be holding up a shield but it is plain blank. 

No name to let us know who this young man was during the early 1900s.

The early census at ancestry make it hard to find this young man.  He was probably living

ORPHAN PHOTO #125 Vintage Real Postcard John Arvid Someli Indo was married to Hulda Jussila in 1922

This orphan vintage real post card is of a young man posed in a simple chair. Dressed in a business type suit.

Back of post card has a paper taped on it that has the name John Arvid Someli Indo
born 03 -25 -1885 died 09 -19 -1924. Married Hulda Jussila on 09 - 29 - 1922, buried at Park Hill on 09 - 25 -1924 Div G Row 24 Grave 23. There is a Park Hill Cemetery in Duluth Minnesota.
Post card is from the 1901 to 1907 era so young man was in his 20 and I think it was taken here in the United States.


I find John living as a boarder in the 1920 census in Duluth. He was listed as a laborer working in the woods, is widowed and immigrated from Finland in 1913.
I find a Hulda living in Duluth and listing John as her husband and that he is deceased.  She was living in what is now the down town area of  Duluth on South 1st ave West.
Sadly from this picture I can see that he was married to Hulda just two years before he died at the age of 39 years old.
I could not find him in any family trees on ancestry at this time. Searched for his wife Hulda, I found that she immigrated from Finland landing in Canada and then coming to the United States in February of 1910. She was born about 1885. No family trees found at this time.

Vintage Orphan Photo # 77 Sepia Photo Man With Big Mustache

Today I am sharing another wonderful vintage CDV photo from my collection of photos for sale. This is of a handsome young man with a big neatly groomed mustache. His hair is slicked down and probably dressed in his best suit.

Photographer is Perkins & Co of Grand Rapids ( probably Michigan and not Minnesota. No name on photo so another orphan photo. This is probably from the early 1900's and gentleman was in his 20's I would think.

Hope that you have enjoyed another one of my vintage photos. Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you will return soon... Grace

Looking at these old photos is a great way to see what was in fashion at that period.

Orphan Photo # 49 Vintage Photo Poses Early 1900's Cute Man in Hat

I love these old photos where there is 4 different poses in a row. This one is of a handsome gentleman dressed in his best suit. His shirt has a wide collar and he is wearing a colorful tie. Second photo he is wearing a hat. What do we know about him? Not much really. Probably in early 20's , probably is a business man or works in an office from the clothing.

Sadly we have no name written on the photo or even know where it is taken. Looking at the chair in the back ground I am guessing this photo is from the early 1900's.

I remember these from the 1950's. You would go into this photo booth. Put in your money and get four different poses.

Some where I have an old photo of my sister and me taken in the 1950's. We are wearing coats and scarfs on our head. Look like 2 poor little urchins.

One of the photos in my banner is of a darling little girl in several poses. I have several photos of her that I bought at an estates. So sad when people part with their family photos.

Hope that you have enjoyed seeing this wonderful vintage photo. Please stop by again . Grace

Orphan Photo # 45

Here is another vintage cabinet photo that found its way into my hands through an estate sale. This photo is of a handsome young man dressed in a three piece suit. You can see the chain from a pocket watch, he is wearing a brimmed hat and leaning on what looks like a walking stick. He appears to be in early twenties and has a very light mustache. With the magnifying glass it looks like he is wearing a ring on the pinkie finger of his left hand. I can not remember a ring on other photos I have so will have to take a closer look at them. I see pocket watches now will have to be on the out look for rings.

This photo is probably from the early 1900's. There is no name on the back so we have no idea to who this young man is. We do know that it was photographed in Buena Vista Colorado by the C. W. Eardlen photographer.

Buena Vista, Colorado, nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountain's Collegiate Peaks. I went to search for information on Buena Vista and came up with more information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buena_Vista,_Colorado . Buena Vista incorporated in 1879 and grew as a railroad town serving the local silver, gold, and lead mining industry, with three rail lines including the Denver & Rio Grande, South Park & Pacific, and Colorado Midland railroads. Many of the existing buildings of Buena Vista date back to this era, and were built in the 1880s and 1890s. Sounds beautiful to me and would be a great place to visit in the Summer. No more snow for this girl.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing another orphan photo of mine.
