Carl and Elizabeth Vangsness
Here is one more photo from Sue. She does not know who this is, but Shelley thinks it is Carl and Elizabeth. And I have to agree.
Compare to another photo we have:

Which do you think was taken first???
Photos of Unni
And yet more photos from Sue!
These are photos of Unni, who gave up a chance to get married to take care of all the John E. children after their mother died. It seems she had an offer of marriage, but when she asked to bring Lydia along with her, the gentleman refused, so Unni gave up on the idea.

Synneve Berge Vangsness Photo
Sue Olson, daughter of Dolly Vangsness Olson and John Olson, kindly sent me many photos of which this is the first one I will add to the blog.
This seems to be the long awaited photo of the wife of John E. Vangsness, Synneve Berge Vangsness. I hope to get a scan at a higher resolution....
Well, here it is....
What do you think?
If you have any information about Synneve, where she was born, where she lived in Minnesota before she got married, what her father's name was, please drop me a line....
