    Probably from about 1914. If so, Cora is 18, Carl is 17, Clara is 16, and Tillman is 12. This is about the time that Cora went to Minneapolis for three months.

    Cora's mother, Anna Bowe Anderson, is in the middle (4th from left). Cora's aunt Bertha is on the right. Clara is third from the left and Rhoda Ekum is on the far left. Taken at Bertha and Sever's house. The woman in the dark dress, 2nd from the left, is Anna Anderson Nelson.

    Cora's mother, Anna Bowe Anderson is on the left in the back row. Cora's aunt Bertha is on the right in the back row, right side. Clara Nundahl is in the middle front. Taken at Bertha and Sever's house. The original is a postcard on which Cora's annotation suggests that the girl on the right in the front is "Anna N." That woman, in the dark dress on Clara's left, is Anna Nelson. The three other women in the picture may be Inge Nundahl (Mrs. Sam), Ida Anderson, and/or Rhoda Ekum.

    Ole Torger school, 1905 or 1906
    Cora Anderson is in the light dress, 3rd from the left after the teacher. Clara Nundahl is in a light dress five students to the right of Cora. Carl Nundahl is fifth from the right, partially hidden behind another boy. We know that this is from the 1905-1906 school year because that was the only year that Alice Anderson Johnson taught at Ole Torger.
    Ole Torger school, about 1910

    Cora, about 14, is fourth from the left in the back and Clara, about 12, is third from the left. That's Carl Nundahl, about 13, third from the right in the back. Tillman, who would have been 8 or 9, may be the boy in the middle of the picture or the boy next to Carl.

    The original is a postcard. No photographer indicated.

    The school Cora attended is referred to as “The Ole Torger School - District #8” in the Vernon County 150 Years book. A description of the history of the school, by Wesley Clayton Slack, is as follows:

    “The Ole Torger School started in a white wood frame one-room building with pillars on the front porch on land obtained from Ole Torger, hence the name. Many of the students spoke Norwegian so had to learn English."

    Taken in 1920. The original picture is in a brown paper mounting with an oval opening. The studio was Jasperson of Viroqua, Wis. On the back, Cora wrote "My Cousin Clara & Odin Olson."

    She's probably closer to 13. So this picture may be from about 1911. The original is a postcard but nicely printed. Cora's annotation on the back is simply "Clara Nundahl." This may be her confirmation picture.
