This photo was taken on the land sometime around 1930.
Pictured are, left to right:
Top row - Hoyt, Glen, Lois, Paul
Bottom row - Henry, Nina, Annell, Ola
Henry and Ola are my great grandparents. The others are siblings. Annell is my grandmother; I call her MeeMa. Nina is my great aunt. They are the only ones still alive (see second photo).
Two years ago, I went to the land for the first time with some of my cousins who own adjacent property. We brought MeeMa and Aunt Nina with us — they hadn’t been back to the land in quite some time (they lived there for a few more years into the 1930’s, then the family moved closer to town). MeeMa will be 87 years old this coming December, and Nina is a few years younger. Both of them are still sharp as a tack.
MeeMa is up front holding the hat, Nina is behind her.
