m a r k e r i c k s o n p a i n t i n g s Family Photographs - 1865 - 2017 Sweden * Italy * England * France * Germany New York City * California * Colorado * North Dakota
It could appear as if a "Drinking Party" (empty bottles leaning on lower left) is in progress. A model rocket ship in the window and a motley crew in North Dakota around 1921 lends an air of fun to this scene of family and friends. Photograph taken at the family farm in Regan or thereabouts. Possibly a Bachelor Party or my grandfather Frank's Wedding Party is my guess. But no sign of my grandmother Clara here, though she may have taken photograph. Some fun is definitely being had and there are five Erickson sisters and brothers in this image which makes it a very special photograph to me. Top Row: My uncle Alphons "Al" Fred Alkallar Erickson on the far left at sixteen years old. Aunt Abbie Ebba Angnis Kristina (Lincoln) Erickson - 3rd from the left. Aunt Vera Edla Alfrid Elvira (Gallagher) Erickson - 3rd from the right. Uncle Andy (Anders) Sebran Filimon Erickson - 2nd from the right. Bottom Row: My grandfather Frank Gustaf Severin Erickson, 3rd from the left holding a cigarette. The rest I am hoping to find out who some are. Chances are slim. |
