Strand/Henrickson Family Photos

 The theme for this week is "New to You." I thought I would post some pictures that were new to me, and maybe new to you too. 

The first picture that was new to me is one of a Sunday family dinner at the Carl Strand residence. Some time in the 1950's. 

Starting lower left, clockwise: Janice Henrickson, Carl Strand, Jack Strand, Miriam Strand, Joyce Strand, Ray Henrickson, Viola Henrickson, Vernon Henrickson, Paul Henrickson, Ilene Henrickson, Mildred Strand, Fred Strand, Marvin Henrickson, Ken Strand

What I'd like to know is, who's taking the picture?

Another New to Me picture is this one of Ray H. Viola S. and her brother Howard.

Ray Henrickson, Viola Strand, Howard Strand

Ray is looking up, Viola is looking straight ahead, and Howard is looking down. 

Here is another picture of a young Viola and believed to be her brother Milton.

Moving from the Strand side of the family to the Henrickson side, here's a picture of Ray Henrickson with horse Rody, 1930.


Another picture of Ray Henrickson and his Fahnstrom cousins, 1943.


Harvey Fahnstrom, Ray Henrickson, Herman Fahnstrom.

Harvey and Herman were Ray's first cousins from Illinois.

One more picture of Ray Henrickson and his brother Evald and their colts, 1930.


I'd like to thank Esther Henrickson Yeomans and Laurie Smalla for passing these pictures along to me. I always welcome any pictures of the Henrickson/Strand families. Pictures, letters, documents, etc. are all appreciated. Questions, comments, thoughts and remembrances in the comments or email me. Thanks for reading. Until next time.
