Class of a one-room schoolhouse in Hoods Canal, Washington. Girls across the front.. left to right... are sisters Eugenia, Louise, Theodora and Maye Hagen. This family moved to Washington state from Eau Clair, Wisconsin, living first in Hoods Canal and then in Tacoma.

When my grandmother, Theodora Hagen, married her sweetheart, William Mitton, she went with him to Boise, Idaho. They are shown here, 1910... the couple on the left.

It is possilbe the other couple went with them as witnesses. My grandmother had other pictures of these folks in her album. She was from Tacoma, Wa., and so might they be.
People in photo include: William Mitton and Theodora (Hagen) Mitton

Photo of Eugenia (Jen) Hagen (standing woman second from left) with her hand on Husband, Clyde ?. They are on picnic with friends, maybe cousins.

Eugenia is eldest daughter of George and Thora Hagen, Norwegian immigrants who came first to Eau Clair, Wisconsin and then to Tacoma, Washington. Does anyone know her friends here in this picture?

Eugenia (Jen) Hagen... (middle woman, center)... and friends on picnic. She was one of 6 children of George and Thora Hagen, Norwegian immigrants in Tacoma, Wa.. Some in picture might be cousins.

Jen Hagen was sister of my grandmother. Am searching for her cousins, and also identity of anyone in picture. Does anyone know?

These photos were taken in the New York Studio, S. Szabo, Proprietor, 1703 East 9th St. Cor. Superior, Cleveland, Ohio. I suspect they were related to one of my two grandfathers, William Mitton or Robert Miesse. There are Miesses I know of in Ohio, so that is most likely.

These are postcard photos. The inscription on one is "Send me some of your snaps. Ena" Does anyone recognize these fellows?

Believed to be the wife of Job Mitton, possibly folks listed in 1930 census as living in Wayne Co., Michigan... Job and Florence Mitton. Job was the brother of my grandfather, William Henry Mitton. All these people were born in Pennsylvania. Will Mitton came to Washington State, and the families lost touch.

"Jobies Wife" was always a mystery to me growing up. My mother didn't know who she was, or who Job might be. It's later, during genealogy research, that I realized who "Jobie" was, that this lovely lady might be married to him. Does anyone recognize her?

I believe this to be a picture of Thora Hagen, my great grandmother. A Norwegian immigrant, she married George Hagen in 1884 in Eau Clair, Wisconsin. They came to Tacoma, Washington, approx, 1889.

Thora Hagen, maiden name Nilsen, had a sister who married George Hagen's brother. This could also be a picture of her.

This is my Aunt Pearl... Pearl Mitton Morton Mansfield at the time of her death. Her son was George Morton, wife Charlotte, and her grandson, William Schuyler Morton. I hope to contact her grandson. I have many pictures to share.

Delivery wagen for the Pyramid Flour Company, Tacoma, Wa.. On the right is my great-grandfather, George Hagen, a long time employee of the company.

George Hagen is on the right. Does anyone know who the two other men are in this photo?
