Franklin and Mildred

I'm taking the photos in Mildred Lindborg's photo album in the order in which she placed them. Here I shall skip over three we've already seen — one of little Raymond, and two of the fresh-looking W.G. Haan School.

Next in line:

Mildred wrote a short caption to this photo, but it's illegible.*

Still, we can easily recognize Franklin Lindborg, at left, and Mildred herself beside him.

They are in the backyard of the Lindborg house in Ainsworth. The little structure behind Franklin is the outhouse. The Lindborg house did not have indoor plumbing until about 1930.

*My best guess at the caption is '"26".' If Franklin completed the eighth grade in 1922, I suppose he'd expect to complete high school in 1926, so that's not completely nonsensical.
