Old photographs are interesting.
My Great Grandmother (Hadwig) is in this photo on the right. I have another photo of her taken the same day. The photo was taken on my Great Grandparents farm.
The fellow on the wood pile is a mystery. My Great Grandfather (Christian) had crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis and spent most of his time in a chair or on the couch. My Great Grandmother took care of him.
Christian is a bit of a mystery. He came to the East Coast on a ship...by himself?...probably not. Did his family die on the ship?? Maybe. His name before he was adopted was Christian Higher.
Anyways back to the wood pile guy...he looks tall and he had a dog that apparently would follow him anywhere. My Mother did not know who he was. I will speculate that is was one of my Great Grandmothers children...Louis maybe as he was tall. (My Grandfather Albert was not tall and his two other brothers would have both died by the time this photo was taken.)
I am working on family information this Winter getting bits and pieces of information compiled...Granddaughter Savannah is interested in family history...so it will be shared with her.
We had a quiet day yesterday, I did some laundry and organized a few things....we watched a movie in the afternoon...Frosted on Netflix...we both fell asleep.
I made smoked pork chops, smashed potatoes and sweet corn for supper.
Minnesota weather: High was 10 F or -12C Low was 5F or -15C eh! Headed into the deep freeze on Thursday and beyond.
