the Gardners came
to Minnesota, so I assume that
it's the Gardners' farm in Craftsbury.

in the yard are unidentified - no names are on the original.)

It was a gift from my great-grandaunt-to-be, Anna Bellmuth, age 14.

This allowed the descendents of Josephine to connect with me, and they
were then able to discover our mutual Swedish roots.
