Brandon Crow Hunters

Love this picture.  With four dogs they are ready to go hunt crows.  See Front Street in the background.  Picture must have been taken near our present  bike path. 

 Can anyone tell us more about this picture?

St. Mary's School, Millerville MN


The Palmer Method of Penmanship was already taught in the early 1900's.  The students must have received a certificate of some sort when they completed the course.  Look closely at the students, one of them might be one of your grandparents.
