Days of Yore, Part 3

Albert & Louisa Adermann and family, great uncle to the lovely wife.
Young man is probably Ardele Skari
Ray, North Dakota

Two of these girls later died of TB within a couple years of each other. The third girl was an old maid, marrying when she was in her forties, possibly to the young man in the photo, since she is said to have married a Skari. The family also had a son who became a Methodist minister. These folks lived in a sod hut.


Stockstad Farm
Southeast of Milnor, North Dakota
Original photo is both of the above side by side.

The lovely wife’s father is one of the boys in this photo. We suspect it is the young man holding the horse on the far right. Her paternal grandfather is the man holding the horse on the far left. He also operated the shoe shop seen in previous photos.
