More Labor Day

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

We definitely have a candidate for the title of Most Photographed Labor Day of Ainsworth, EVER.

I suppose one of the women was behind the camera taking the first picture, as all the grown men are accounted for: left to right, Franklin, Gust and Emil Lindborg. (Here you can really see the family resemblance between brothers Gust and Emil.) They are standing on the west side of the Lindborg house in Ainsworth. I do not know what that little one-story attachment on the back of the house is. Notice the watering can on the ground in front of it — Anna had to keep her flowers watered, not to mention the vegetable garden out back.

The second photo, yet another shot of the family, again on the west side of the house, more toward the front this time. Back row, left to right: Gust, Anna, Mildred, Franklin; front row, left to right: Gladys, Raymond and Norma. And this time Raymond is holding the dog's head to make it face the camera.
