Werner was the photographer in Marquette, Mich
The groom wears the obligatory three piece suit with flowers in his lapel. The bride wears a white gown with lacy trim, the gown has a high neck. She wears a flower on her dress and a full length bridal bonnet adorned with flowers. I can also see her wedding band.
On the front of the photo on the right side is a photographers note in pencil…1col woman. On the back also in pencil are what appear to be instructions…hair, eyes etc… since it is pencil it is really hard to read. I think I have deciphered a name Mr. Rautio 723 Washington.Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteThe photographer appears to have been Gustav or Gustavus A Werner who worked in Marquette from at least 1895 - 1920.
I think this couple might be:

They lived at 812 Bluff Street (one block from 723 Washington) - perhaps her parents lived on Washington?
This Rautio was railroad bridge carpenter.
It's a good thing your eye caught that penciled in name! What a bonanza Iggy found. Wonderful!
