Framed by Flowers

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

Mildred gave this photo no caption or date, but the album owner recognized everyone in it.

Standing in back, left to right: Edna Lindborg (Franklin's wife); Franklin, Anna and Gust Lindborg; and Clarence Lute (Mildred's husband).

Front row, left to right: Emil Lindborg; Norma, Gladys and Raymond Lindborg; Mickey Kimball/Goyette; and Mildred Lindborg Lute.

I am not sure that Mildred and Clarence were already husband and wife in this photo. They were married in October 1935, I believe ("New Licenses," Hammond Times 15 Oct. 1935, via newspaperarchive.com). (Franklin and Edna were married probably a year or two earlier.) Judging by the fashions and the apparent ages, I would date this photo to the mid-1930s, making it one of the most recent in the album. It probably was taken the same day as the one of Anna and her trellis, since her hair and dress are the same in both photos.

I like how the photographer (Aunt Lid maybe? Aunt Elma?) included Anna's flowers in the picture, as a sort of frame for the family.
