Photo Number 2446

These are snapshots from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.  I am not sure if these are foreign photos or not.

Thanks for stopping by.

The first text is "Jeg og de yngste" (Norwegian), "Me and the youngest" (the two youngest on the second picture, I assume).

The second name is "John Magnus", I think. År = year(s old).

From the clothes and the house, this picture could have been taken in Norway.


I believe this could be
Mary Jensen, b. 12/3 1900 d 1967,
Fritjof Jensen, b. 4/12 1930, 
John Magnus Jensen, b. 15/6 1929 d.15/5 2003
Per Jensen, b. 18/5 1924, d. 1967.

I found this information here, the second photo is a photo of the mother and the three sons.

This website is about a "disappeared community", a community that had to be removed due to construction of a military airport in Bodø, Norway, in the fifties. The other photos at the page documents the movement of the house (Perheim), which I believe can be the same house as in this post.

What happened to the father (dead? And/or sailor?) it doesn't say. How the pictures ended up in Minnesota is also intriguing (may be one of the boys moved?). It seems Frithjof was alive in 2013, he is also listed as a source for the web-site.
