Venke Marie and Benjamin Olsen

A photo of Benjamin Olsen and wife Venke Marie discovered on FindAGrave after researching Benjamin for the past 20 years... first time I had seen this photo.

Not sure where or when taken: am guessing based on Benjamin's apparent age - he was 36 in 1866. If he is older than 36 in this photo, then it may have been taken in South Dakota, after 1869.
People in photo include: Venke Marie Olsen

Date & Place: 1866 in Frosta Municipality County, Nord-Trondelag Norway
