My 3 year old mother, Virginia, is sitting in front.

If you know any of the people in this photo, please let me know.
Where were they married and when?

  1. I believe Alfred's wife is actually Selma J. Monson, rather than Sally Monson. Selma J. Monson is my great-great-aunt. Henry Monson, Selma's brother, is my great grandfather. Unfortunately, I can't tell you by the photo who the others are.

  2. You are correct. Her given name was Selma. Relying on memory, I believe hermmiddle name was Jeanette (sp?). Everyone called her Sally. She was my grandmother. Do you live in the Kenyon area Bryan?

  3. Her name was Selma Monson. Middle name was Jeanette (from memory, worth double checking) Everyone called her Sally. Bryan is correct on last name spelling. She was my Grandmother. I grew up on the same farm her & Alfred lived on. Bryan, Do you live in Kenyon? Which one of Selma's brothers was your great grandfather?
