Arthur and Gertrude Hendrickson wedding

The sepia-toned rectangular original is mounted in a greyish-brown folder from Rosaas Studio - Duluth. On the back, in Cora's handwriting: "My Cousins Art Hendrickson groom Also my Cousins Marion & Gertie Anderson's and their friend."

Arthur is about 19, Gertie about 17. If the woman on the right is Gertie's sister Marion, she would be about 22 or 23. The woman on the right looks older than that and may be Gertie's mother. In that case, the fellow on the left may be Ole Jr.

How did they meet? Because Gertie's mother was a Nordrum (from LaCrosse), and there were also Nordrums in the Viroqua area, it is possible that matchmaker Martha was aware of Gertie, even apart from the connection through Cora and Cora's father.
