    The small oval original is mounted on heavy brown paperboard. The studio imprint is Miller McCloud, Cal. On the back Cora first wrote in pencil "Albert Ekum." Over that she wrote in ink, "My Cousin Albert Ekum."

    Probably taken in the later years of the first decade of the 20th century after the Ekums had returned from California. Martin would have been in his late teens and Albert in his mid 20s.

    The original is an oval picture mounted on heavy paperboard. The studio is "Henry and Jasperson, Viroqua, Wis." On the back Cora wrote "My Cousins Albert & Martin Ekum."

    This is from their wedding in December of 1911. Albert is 29 and Bertha two days short of turning 20. The original is about 4x6 and mounted on sturdy brown board stock and has the imprint Jasperson Viroqua Wis. with a space to the left of Jasperson indicating perhaps that the change in ownership from Henry and Jasperson was recent. On the back of the picture Cora wrote, "My Cousin Albert and Bertha." One of Albert's daughters confirms that this is their wedding picture with the comment, "Yes, she wore a black dress."
