Orphan Photos





There are only two references that help place these photos. One is the identification of the photography studio placing my "orphan" as being in Antigo, Langlade county, Wisconsin.



On the back of this photo was a faded written notation, so faint I almost missed it. After viewing it under a desk lamp, I was able to read a date: 1926.

A relative or neighbor? My plan, on my next visit to Antigo is to check church records. My grandmother, Mildred Little Bergeron, was a long-time member of the Methodist church. Could my "orphan" be a godchild?

Oh my gosh, what a couple of cuties! I so hate seeing these little ones in orphan photos. You just know that someone loved them very much at one time. I hope someone is able to help you identify your orphans.
