Laura Christine Moe
I have an old photograph of Laura Christine MOE which was taken at the Genelli Studio in Sioux City, IA in 1886. Laura was 7 months old at the time the photograph was taken. Someone has also written Chr. C. MOE on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Laura and her family:
Laura Christine MOE was b. 16 Oct 1885 in Sioux City, IA to parents Rev. Christian C. MOE (1849-1910) and Marie Larsen or Larson ENGER (1856-1945) who were married 28 Oct 1884 in Minneapolis, MN. Laura was one of 8 children born to this couple including Laura Christine; Henry Oliver; Martin Carl; Hannah Mabel or Mable; Oscar Joseph; Leonard Nicholas Daniel; Mabel; and Stella C. MOE, all born between 1885 and 1898. Laura died in Dell Rapids, SD on 11 Jan 1945 where she had lived with her parents since 1892.
Her obituary listed her surviving family members including her mother, Marie; sisters Mrs. Harry HALVORSON and Stella MOE both of Dell Rapids, SD; and brothers Henry MOE of Altamont, NY; Martin MOE of Minneapolis, MN; and Dr. Leonard MOE of Jacksonville, FL.
I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
