How adorable is this picture? My cousin's wife this to me, along with other photos that had been stored in my aunt and uncle's home.
The cute little boy in this photo is my paternal grandfather, Arthur Harry Iverson. Thankfully, the back of the photo has his name on it and the location which is Benson, Minnesota. Unfortunately, there is no date on the back of the photo. But, I wonder if it was a bit chilly the day this photo was taken. Arthur has a hat on and is wearing long sleeves.
Check out his little wheelbarrow. And if you look closely, you can see his shovel sitting across the wheelbarrow handles. I wonder if he was helping with yard work. So sweet!
Thanks for stopping by!

What an adorable picture. I have one of my father-in-law when he was even younger sitting in a little home built toy car.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Aww, the picture of your father-in-law sounds so cute!
DeleteThat is a cute picture! He is hard at work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! Yes, looks like he's being quite the little helper.
DeleteWonderful photo. The loose clothing with the big belt reminds me of some photos of a great uncle taken about 100 years ago. Love that hat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna!
DeleteJana, this is a fantastic photo. From the clothing to the wheelbarrow to that sweet smile, you can learn so much. Were his parents the first generation of immigrants?
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy! I know, his sweet little smile is so precious. It really is an amazing photo and as you said, we can learn so much from it. I wonder if his outfit is Norwegian. His grandparents were the first immigrants from Norway.
DeleteI love the photo, what a treasure!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellie!
