In 1910 Peter and Albertina lived in English township, and on the census record the four Swanson families in the picture can be found on the same page. Perhaps this was at Peter's home.Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061147493822316829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12631722.post-57762492808601398932018-01-17T19:33:19.178-06:002018-01-17T19:33:19.178-06:00My great-great-great grandfather Peter Lindquist i...My great-great-great grandfather Peter Lindquist in this picture, as well as his second wife Albertina sitting next to him and his four children from that second marriage, David b. 1878, Alfreda b. 1880, Oscar b. 1883, and Emma b. 1886.

O.A. Elmquist. It was in the fall of 1907 that he and his family left the mission field of Utah and reached Chariton on October 31, 1907. I will share this book with you soon, as it has much interesting history from that time. I will check oor church library and see what additional light we can shed on this subject. I may find this picture. There is mention of a mission congregagtion in north west Lucas county and one in Lucas as well. Miss Alma Clay is mentioned as th first teacher to teach her kindergartin Sunday School class in English. All othrs were Swedish. I think this group is a prayer meeting group that was held in homes in the Oakley area Lazyshadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860208923503774858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12631722.post-78685978224395528712015-11-12T11:42:41.541-06:002015-11-12T11:42:41.541-06:00My guess would be an anniversary, Swedes and Germa...My guess would be an anniversary, Swedes and Germans seem to be very similar in the way they want to present themselves to others and having the minister say a few words at big family wing dings was usual, having a photo taken, more of an event and including the minister is part of that. See if the paper records any of the people from the church celebrating an anniversary and see if there is a guest list that can pin some of these people down. Since it appears to be in good weather that eliminates the usual wedding in December or January 1! Cuts down the number of pages you have to deal with even if the local paper is a daily!
