Ernest Richard Almgren
I have an old studio photograph that is identified as Ernst ALMGREN which was taken at the Eskil's Art Gallery Studio in Iron Mountain, MI in 1895. I believe that this is a photograph of Ernest Richard ALMGREN who appears to be about 3 years old at the time the photograph was taken.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Ernest and his family:
Ernest Richard ALMGREN was b. 4 Aug 1892 in Iron Mountain, MI to parents Anders Gustaf “Gust” Adolf Hermanson ELMGREN or ALMGREN (1863-1958) and Beda Wilhelmina Prestfeldt DAHLGREN (1870-1965) who were married 17 Oct 1891 in Menominee, MI. Ernest was one of three children born to this couple including siblings Baby Boy ALMGREN b. 1898 and Elmer ALMGREN (1901-1992).
Ernest married three times, first to Olivia “Olive” Anna WESTLUND (1899-1940) on 16 Apr 1922 with whom he had a son, Harold Ernest ALMGREN (1923-1972) and a daughter, Marjorie Eleanor ALMGREN (1927-2018). His second marriage was to Ruby Devine POWELL (1898-1955) on 5 Dec 1949 in Reno, NV and then his third marriage was to Mary Melvina BESAW (1891-1966) in 1954 in Reedley, CA. Ernest died 2 Jan 1969 in Reedley, CA.
I am hoping to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
