My grandfather came over from Sweden in 1915. He was Oscar Johonson but changed it to Setterberg. Is Zetterberg Swedish by any chance.

These Zetterbergs were Swedes and changed their names from Janson to Zetterberg. They came to US around late 1880's.

Looks more like 1920's with the shorter dress & the headress.

In fashion history terms time never stands still. In the Edwardian era, new influences and a changing society in a young century began to challenge the stiff formality that prevailed. In the years between 1905 and 1918 clothing styles emerged that were evolutionary in bridging the gap between the rigid formality of the Edwardian styles and the ultimate changes that led to the knee high dresses of 1926.

Can I submit some of my own antique family photos?

I was surprised to see the shorter sleeves

Maybe the gloves made up for the short sleeves.?

Or perhaps fashion was a bit more liberal in Norway? I presume they were not married yet, and as unmarried girls, you did not have to cover up as much.
