 This is a sketch that Margaret made of Marjorie.


Margaret sent a letter in this envelope to Marjorie.


Marjorie's parents, Andrew and Gladys.  Marjorie always claimed this was the first photo of her, as her mother was pregnant with her when this picture was taken.

Before her marriage, Marjorie worked as a nurse's aide at a hospital.


Portrait of my Marjorie, taken about 1945.


Margaret had a Cocker Spaniel that had puppies.  This is Marjorie with an armful of puppies!

Marjorie taught Sunday School in Willmar.  I have always wondered who the little girl sitting second to the left of Marjorie was and why she sort of looks proud of her black eye.  :)

Misc. Children of Andrew Paul 1

 Because Andrew Paul is in my direct genealogical line, I find I have many photos of his children.  In no particular order, here are some of them.


I don't know who the four people on the left are, but Dorothy Paul and Donald Swedberg are on the left - their wedding day.


Dorothy worked for the Post Office for 18 years.  The above photo is a newspaper clipping about her retirement.


Dorothy held by her maternal grandmother, Carrie Ellen Felt.


Infant Dorothy.


Duane and Mildred in Arizona.


Duane, Mildred and family.


Duane with his mother, Gladys.


Adella and her sister, Elaine.


Adella, Marjorie and their children.
