This is believed
to be the Hodgdon family of Boon Lake, Renville, Minnesota. This 11.25" by 9.5-inch cabinet card has been in my photograph collection for
years. Purchase a long time ago in a Minnesota estate. Beautiful family
portrait.
The only writing is the name Oscar Hodgdon & Family on the back.
Family history that I can find
below - Hoping this helps with someone's genealogy. It appears they were
on the census in 1870's in Renville, Minnesota.
Born about 1845 in New Hampshire
Son of James C Hodgdon and Sarah Hodgdon
Brother of Orrin Hodgdon, Ida M Hodgdon, Ernest Hodgdon and May Hodgdon
The first personal assessment is Boon Lake township, Renville County, Minnesota was made in 1871 - J. C.
Hodgdon, Oscar Hodgdon, Orrin Hodgdon. (As found on the Boon Lake Township page - The History of Renville County, Volume 2 Compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge)
Very good condition for the age.
Board shows some soiling and scuffing. Photograph itself is very good
with only light wear. There is a tear at the upper left corner that cuts
into the photo slightly. Please enlarge all photos and feel free to email with any questions you may have.
