  • Photos
    Andrew and Sever Bowe
    Probably Andrew and Sever in their later years. If the picture was taken in the late years of the first decade of the 1900s, Andrew would have been in his late 40s and Sever in his mid 40s. The original is a postcard made of glossy photo paper. There is no writing on the card.
    George Anderson and Sever Bowe
    The man in the back is George Anderson, nephew of Kari Bowe. The man on the right appears to be Sever Bowe. Probably taken around 1905 when Sever would have been in his late 30s. George would have been about 21 in this picture.

    This picture of George was used at his funeral in 1917.

    We don't know who the person is on the lower left.

    The original is a postcard; the image is a small oval image that takes up only half of the card. There is no writing on the card.
    Hendricksons and Larsons
    Apparently taken about 1913 when Charles would have been 56, Clara Munson 20, Sever 47, Arthur 5, Martha 41, Myrtle 3, Ada 3, and Louise 36. This would have been taken a little more than a year before Cora came to live with Martha and family for 3 months in late 1914. The backdrop appears to be of Minnehaha Falls so the picture was probably taken in Minneapolis.
    Sever and Andrew Bowe
    Probably taken in the early 1890s. In 1891, Sever would have been 25 and Andrew 29. The fading original is mounted on card stock. The photographer is Adlington's Studios of Viroqua, Mt. Sterling, West Lima, and Cashton, Wis. Cora's annotation on the back is "Uncle Sever" and "Uncle Andrew."
