Albertina Anderson
I have a studio photograph of Albertina C. ANDERSON of Starbuck, MN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Albertina likely in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken at the Fritz Studio in St. Cloud, MN. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Albertina and her family:
Albertina or Albertine Cecilia ANDERSON was b. 5 Aug 1876 in Barsness, MN to parents John Fjellman ANDERSON (1849-1920) and Sara PETTERSDOTTER (1851-1940) who were married 1 Mar 1873 in Ishpeming, MI. Albertina was one of four children born to this couple including Albertina Cecilia; Andrew or Androw W.; Albert George John; and Henry Ward ANDERSON, all born between 1876 and 1887. Albertina died 2 Jan 1964 in Pope County, MN and is buried in the Fron Cemetery in Starbuck, MN.
I’d like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this ANDERSON Family or know someone who might be.

Anna "Annie" Marie Alexandria Anderson Ericsson
I have two photographs belonging to the ERICSSON Family of Portland, Oregon. The first is a photograph of Annie ERICSSON which was taken at the Towne Studio in Portland, OR in the 1880's with Annie likely in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. The second photograph is identified as "Grandpa ERICSSON" and was taken in the 1880's as well at the Partridge Studio in Portland, OR with the man in his teens or 20's at the time it was taken. I believe that these are photographs of Charles A. ERICSSON and his wife Annie ANDERSON ERICSSON.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Annie and Charles as follows:
Anna “Annie” Marie Alexandria ANDERSON was b. 17 Feb 1863 in Norrkoping, Sweden and she married Charles Alfred ERICSSON (1864-1907) in 1888. Annie died 22 Sept 1939 in Portland, OR and she is buried in the River View Cemetery in Portland as well. Annie was living at 131 NE Tillamook when she died and her obituary lists her survivors including children Mrs. Esther Caroline ERICSSON DUNCAN; Mrs. Elsa “Elsie” R. ERICSSON LEUFQUIST; Daniel “Dan” H. ERICSSON; and Joseph “Joe” McKinley ERICSSON all of Portland, OR; along with sisters Mrs. Hulda BLEID and Miss Tecla ANDERSON both of Portland, OR. Charles Alfred ERICSSON was b. 1864 and he died 30 Dec 1907 in Portland, OR and is also buried in the River View Cemetery in Portland along with his wife.
I am hoping to see the photographs returned to their family and would appreciate you reaching out to me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be related.

During her time in Saigon, she completed 12 years of formal education, earning her High School diploma. She was known to have a particular fondness for studying the French language ever since she was a young child. After the fall of Saigon, many tragedies befell her. Although she was able to hide out until the beginning of 1976, unfortunately, that is when true tragedy struck.

You know how people sometimes say you shouldn't dig too deep when researching your ancestors because you might find one of them was 'hung for a horse thief'? Well, I'll be darned if that wasn't almost the truth in this case!
Keep on reading and you will encounter an 1866 newspaper article about my (in)famous great-great-great uncle Peter Anderson, who family legend has it ended up killed in a bar brawl in California years after the events described in this story took place, although we're not certain about that.
Here it is:
From "The Fredericksburg Ledger," Fredericksburg, Virginia
May 29, 1866 Page 3, Column 1.
A Horse Stealing Case
About two weeks ago, a stranger came here and offered our fellow-citizen, W.M. Lang, a horse, which he bought. Lang, giving $60 cash and his note for one hundred dollars at sixty days.
In a few days afterward, he was shown a handbill from Tenallytown, D.C., which showed conclusively that the horse was stolen. Mr. Lang at once took a guard of soldiers, the officers of the town, being all absent at Spotsylvania Courthouse, attending Leitch's trial.
Going to where the man, Peter Anderson lived in Stafford County, they surrounded the house and caught Anderson, though he attempted to make his escape. After tying him, they took him in a wagon and had gotten him as far as Falmouth, at which place about 9 P.M. at night, it being very dark, Anderson succeeded in making his escape, having gotten loose the cords with which he was bound.
Our friend Lange, got his money back, and the identical money too. Anderson when caught, had some $800 on his person, the proceeds, it is said, of the sale of some seven or eight stolen horses.
Keep on reading and you will encounter an 1866 newspaper article about my (in)famous great-great-great uncle Peter Anderson, who family legend has it ended up killed in a bar brawl in California years after the events described in this story took place, although we're not certain about that.
Here it is:
From "The Fredericksburg Ledger," Fredericksburg, Virginia
May 29, 1866 Page 3, Column 1.
A Horse Stealing Case
About two weeks ago, a stranger came here and offered our fellow-citizen, W.M. Lang, a horse, which he bought. Lang, giving $60 cash and his note for one hundred dollars at sixty days.
In a few days afterward, he was shown a handbill from Tenallytown, D.C., which showed conclusively that the horse was stolen. Mr. Lang at once took a guard of soldiers, the officers of the town, being all absent at Spotsylvania Courthouse, attending Leitch's trial.

Music and songs have been my lifelong friends. They have accompanied me through my childhood and past the rocky years of adolescence. They have helped me express my love and provided solace in times of grief. If I was in a silly mood, there was a song to express it; if there was a time of deep spiritual reflection, a song framed it in my mind.
When I think of favorite songs back in the "Good Old Days", I have a specific one that floods my mind.
"In a vine-covered shack in the mountain,
Bravely fighting the battle of time
Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows,
'Tis that silver-haired Daddy of mine.
If I could recall all the heartaches,
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear,
If I could erase those lines on your face
And bring back the gold to your hair,
If God would grant me the power,
Just to turn back the pages of time.
I'd give all I own if I could but atone,
To that silver-haired Daddy of mine.
I know it's too late, dear old Daddy,
To repay for the sorrow and care
But dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
Just to comfort and solace you there.
*I have heard my Father sing this song so many times...but never understood the true depth and implication until he passed away June 12, 2001.
