This is a wedding Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes.
I looked at this photo for some time, I think she has some kind of black net thingy on her head. She has a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Elfred and Clara Strand I suspect his name was Alfred.
This is a VITAVA postcard and they were used from 1925 to 1934
There are four Clara Strands buried at the Blooming Prairie Cemetery…your guess is as good as mine which one is correct…and it could be another Clara buried elsewhere. Although there is a Alfred buried at that cemetery also.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again.
Handsome couple.
ReplyDeleteCould have been a twin--I knew twin boys name Elbert and Albert
ReplyDeleteThis is so strange to read the name Clara Strand. That is the name of the woman who married my husband's uncle--in Chicago. I never could find any documentation of her before her marriage. Of course, it isn't the same as this family, but it was startling to see her name in your post here.

ReplyDeleteThey were married on September 16, 1925. Your photo dating is spot on!
I found a wedding newspaper announcement on ancestry.com for Calmer strand, son of Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Strand. Research finds they had a son named Kalmer/Calmer in 1926. I did find one public family tree and sent a message to the owner. ~Abra
ReplyDeleteI got an email from Jennie today:
ReplyDeleteI am contacting you on behalf of my parents Vern and Dee Strand.
The photo of Elfred And Clara Strand is a picture of my grandparents. They are my father's parents. My father is 83 years old and their youngest son. My grandfather's name is actually Alfred with an A. They are buried in First Lutheran Cemetery in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota.
