Evelyn Mildred Martinson and Milton Jerome Martinson
The card was addressed to Mrs. Peter Brooks  Ada Minn.
It is a NOKO postcard they were used from 1907 to the 1920’s. I will guess that it is from the late teens or early 20’s because of the T strap shoe on the little girl. Edited to 1914.
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.
Update from Iggy:
The 1920 US census shows Milton [Jerome] (1913) and older sister Evelyn [Mildred] (12 Nov 1908 - ), the children of John P. and Mabel Martinson living in Hubbard, Polk, Minnesota. By 1930, the family had moved to Flint, Genesee, Michigan.

In 1940, Milton was living in Burton, Genesee, Michigan and worked as a welder. He married Chrystal M and had a son Dennis B.

I found a Minnie P. Haarstad born May 17 1892 and died April 9 1909.  She is buried in Norway Lutheran Cemetery Traill County Mayville North Dakota.  She was sixteen years old when she died.

Pauline Haarstad June 26 1863 – July 12 1913
There are two other girls in the same cemetery:

Olga L. Haarstad July 4 1882 – March 16 1899 Age 16 years old
Does anyone else find it odd that three girls perhaps all daughter of John and Pauline would die at about the same age?

Anna wears a hat, a brooch, a necklace with a cross, fingerless gloves and she also has a corsage and carries a parasol.  She is all decked out… I wonder what the occasion was?
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.
Update from Iggy:
I think this person's last name was misspelled and that she is an Ensby. There is an immigration record showing an Anna Ensby intending to live in Swift County, Minnesota (where Benson is located) and she appears to have moved to Spokane, Washington and served as a domestic (like Rena in Photo Number 1573)

Looking at the link LarsI left for the 1875 Noway census, we see Anna was Rena and Sidsel's younger sister, born in 1859.

Update from Lars:
Oline from yesterday came from Øyer in Norway. The only place in Norway I can find a farm called Ensby is in Øyer. So that is a link to 1572... Øyer is not a very big community.

In 1885, a girl called Rønnaug Ensby emigrated from Norway, destined for Crookston. The way Rønnaug is pronounced in Norwegian sounds a bit like Rena, so perhaps she simplified her name. It says there that she was 20 when she emigrated, but she might have been 30, as the only Rønnaug (Rønoug) I could find at Ensby in 1854 (1875 census).

Olive Strom Sundby DL Ant
Oline Strom Sundby  then it says 1982 but I am certain it is 1892.
The photographer is A.P.Holand in Crookston.
You can almost see her bustle in this photo.  She must have liked that fashion as the bustle era was over by 1886 or so.  This may be her wedding photograph.
Olive Strom Sundby back DL Ant
The back has lots of information.
Oline Strom  (Mrs. Hanson) possibly she was known at sometime as Mrs Hanson second marriage?
Mrs Andrew Sundby
Born December 23, 1866  Married to Andrew Sundby December 21, 1892
Father Johannes Odegaarden Norgr.
I found an Oline Hanson who was born July 7, 1866 and died March 10, 1944.  She is buried in Silverton Lutheran Cemetery in Pennington County MN.  Pennington County is North of Crookston.  She is a possibility. Oline is not a real common name …is it?
Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.
Update from Lars:
I think Oline was born Oline (Johannesdatter) Strøm Hanson (Dec. 23, 1866) in Øyer, Norway. She emigrated in 1885, and married Andrew A Sundby (Andreas Andersen Sundby) in 1892. It seems she died shortly after, in 1893 (or did her husband die then?).

Photo Number 1292

Hi Connie, I found your photo of Clayton Sylvester Rost, I have been working on my family tree, & discovered my grandfather had a brother named Clayton that passed away at the age of 2, in I believe 1910 or 11. My great grandmothers name was Annie Margaret Anderson Rost. I have a few similar post card photos from the same period, with her hand writing in the back. I compared the writing on these photos to # 1292 and they are a perfect match. 
Our family is still in Winnipeg, and hard to believe a 100 year old photo could turn up so far away!
Thank you for posting these lost photos, great idea, also I would like to thank Intense Guy, for making the connection which led me to you site.
Finding this really made my day, Keep up the great work!
Glenn

I mailed off the postcard.

Thank you so much, I received the photo today! I know Clayton passed away around the age of 2. He was the 2nd of 6 children born to Charles & Annie Rost (my great grandparents) in Winnipeg, Canada. Clayton was born in 1909, so this picture is maybe either 1909-1910. I haven't found the reason for his passing, but will keep looking for it.
I was very surprised at how well preserved the photo is! If this picture was in the possession of Lula (as the photo says on the back) it  must have been very special to her. The hand writing is a perfect match to other post card photos I have, written by Annie.
The photo will now be added to my family tree, so he can be remembered, now and always!
I would like to thank Connie & Karl for all your hard work, I'm sure millions of photos will never have the same happy ending, but wish you much luck with your hunt.

As to her parent's name, I could not determine that.

Julia had three children (maybe 4) Oscar T. (1897), Benjamin (1901), and Martha (1904). I can't tell if the ages of these children fit those in the photo.

Update from Lars:
Helmer Vennevold (1907-2002)
Signe Vennevold (1902-1952

It seems at least Helmer had children.

Their father's name was Lars Vennevoldhjell (probably simplified to Vennevold), which is a farm name from Sunndal in Møre and Romsdal county, Norway, a few hours drive south of Trondheim. This link confirms that Lars came from Sunndal.

Update from Iggy:
Helmer Orlando Vennevold (1 Jun 1907 in Barrett, Minnesota - 20 Apr 2002) married Alpha Hilderth Merkegard (1 Mar 1913 - 2 Feb 2008) on 3 Feb 1931. Alpha was the daughter of Andrew and Hannah (Larson) Markegard. they had two children, Betty and Richard.

John A Smith (abt 1871), was widowed in 1910 (poor Nellie).

Erastus Smith (Nov 1873 - 7 Nov 1901) He was a law clerk at Great Western Elevator Co.; later with Minnesota Sandstone Co. Given he died at the end of 1901, the photo probably dates to shortly before that.

Edna Lamb Smith (18 Mar 1878 - 17 Oct 1964) married Levi Beckley Pease (1 Aug 1872 - 14 Feb 1969) on 30 Jun 1909. Levi was a professor in Minneapolis.
