In front is Minnie, Edna, August, Bessie, Edla (nee Benson), Lillian, Anna.
Edla wanted a family picture because Elmer was about to leave to fight in WWI. (Elmer survived the war.) I have a postcard from Bessie to Daisy postmarked January 12, 1912: "Dear Sis - 21 below here this morning at 12 o'clock. Has been lower. Have been sick for over a week with gruppe but am better now. George putting up ice for Ericksons now. From sister Bessie." I can identify w/ the cold temps but I don't know what the 'gruppe' is. (Thanks, Dan, for my great grandfather's first name.)
