• From donor Phyllis Fredendall: The older man was my grandfather, Joseph Talbot. He was the minister at Paine Methodist Church in Painesdale. The photo must have been taken in 1945. My mother, Dorothy Talbot, is left of center wearing white and holding a potato. She is smiling and looking toward the photographer. She was 15 at the time of this photo. My aunt, Phyllis Talbot, would have been 13 and is third from the left with curly hair and no hat. She is looking at one of the boys on the right."" 1/10/2008 7:58:09 AM by Erik Nordberg, MTU Archivist
• This is Earl Sohlden’s Farm on the North Entry Road. In the trailer are Earl Sohlden and Harry Piggott. Also in the picture are Clifford Palosaari, Howard Moilanen, Ed Lauluma, Ruth and Esther Breadback, and Bertha Aho (now Mrs. Rudy Maki–she may be able to identify the old guy). The small girls may be Talbots.Information is from Leo Tervo, submitted by Carol Saari. 3/13/2009 3:50:00 PM by Anonymous
