Mildred's Photograph Album

Since my microfilm reading is getting into the 1920s (and since I am looking for ways to spare myself work), let us now open a small photo album assembled and labeled by Mildred Lindborg, containing photographs mostly from the early 1920s. (We have seen a few of them already in this blog, and guess what? we're going to see them again.) The original album is privately owned, but I have scanned it, gone through it with the owner to get any additional information I could for each picture, and given copies of all the photos and my notes to the Hobart Historical Society.

Mildred, born in 1906, was the eldest child of Gust and Anna Lindborg, whose home and businesses (the blacksmith shop, farm equipment sales, and — eventually — auto repair shop, and the dance hall) lay in downtown Ainsworth.

The first photo in the album is a nice shot of the whole Lindborg family.

Back row, left to right: Mildred, Franklin, Anna and Gust.
Front row, left to right: Gladys, Raymond and Norma.

Since Raymond appears roughly three years old here, the photo probably dates to about 1921.

The location is unidentified. Based on what's in the background, I'm pretty sure this photo was not taken on the Lindborg property in Ainsworth.
