I have an old postcard photograph of Willie HAMBLIN and Glenn HAMBLIN which appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Willie and Glenn appearing to be about 1 to 3 years old at the time. The photograph was sent to Miss Erma FELTON in Belmond, IA. Based on limited research and takes to area genealogists I was able to gather the following information regarding these boys: William “Willie” Lewis HAMBLIN was born 12 Jun 1906 in Mason City, IA to parents William “Will” HAMBLIN (1856-1948) and Julia Alice DAVIS (1864-1951) who were married 13 Mar 1905 in Mason City, IA. This couple had one additional child, a son Glenn D. HAMBLIN (1907-1980). His father was married previously and had one additional child, a son Herman HAMBLIN (1877-1947). Julia was also married previously and had four additional children including Ethel D.; Ardeen; William E.; and Ella A. CURTIS, all born between 1890 and 1897. Willie married Marguerite MANNENS (1905-2001) on 19 Sept 1939 in Mason City, IA. Willie died 20 Apr 1981 in Rochester Township, Olmsted County, MN and is buried in the Elmwood Saint Joseph Cemetery in Mason City, IA. Glenn Davis HAMBLIN was born 20 Nov 1907 in Mason City, IA to the same parents. Glenn married Charlotte Janet STEVENS (1908-1994) on 19 Mar 1930 in Mason City, IA and they had a daughter, Marcia Kay HAMBLIN b. 1948. Glenn was with both the Mason City Fire Dept. and Police Dept. over his working career. Glenn died Mar 1980 in Ventura, IA and is buried in the Clear Lake Cemetery in Clear Lake, IA. His daughter Marcia married Maynard L. DYER (b. South Dakota) and they were living in Clear Lake, IA in the 1990’s. I’d like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

NELSON Family Photograph
I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Danial NELSON and his wife which was taken at the Miller Studio in Minneapolis, MN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the couple appearing to be in their 30's at the time. They are identified as Missionaries with the Hauges or Hangas Synod LC. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this couple: Nils Daniel Sigbjornsen NELSON was b. 10 Apr 1853 in Sveen, Norway to parents Saebjorn “Sigbjorn” NILSON (1821-1884) and Ingeborg Serine GOTSKALKSDR (1833-1904). Daniel was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Endre; Nils Daniel; Gotskalk Severin; Helga Serine; Anna Marta; Halvard “Halvor” Mandius; Jorgen Olai; Jakob Engel Severin; Nils Mikal SAEBJORNSEN all born between 1851 and 1878. Daniel married Anna Karina “Karine” PEDERSDATTER or SANDVIK (1854-1954) and they had 10 children including, Nora Andrea; Peter Emil or Emelius; Sigval or Sigvald Gustav; Nels Berthin or Bertin; Bert; John Helmer; Adina Maria; Nora Adina or Adine; Mary or Marie A. or Lee; and Daniel NELSON all born between 1879 and 1902. Daniel died 9 Feb 1926 in China. Daniel applied for his passport in 1896 and at that time was living in Eagle Grove, IA. His wife Anna Karina SANDVIK was b. 22 or 25 Sept 1854 in Sveio or Haugesund, Norway to parents Peder Michelsen SANVIK (b. 1816) and Ingenbritha Aslaksdatter RODMYR (1815-1862). Anna and Rev. Daniel NELSON were married in Sveio, Norway on 26 Sept 1878. Anna died 11 May 1940 in Minneapolis, MN. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Minneapolis, MN: Rev. Daniel NELSON, age 47, born Apr 1853, married 21 years, born Norway, parents born Norway, to USA 1883, a Preacher Anna C. NELSON, wife, age 45, born Sept 1854, married 21 years, 9 children/6 living, born Norway, parents born Norway, to USA 1883 Peter E. NELSON, son, age 17, born Mar 1883, born IA, a Student Sigval G. NELSON, son, age 15, born Nov 1884, born IA, a Student Nils B. NELSON, son, age 12, born Apr 1888, born IA, at School Helmer J. NELSON, son, age 9, born Jan 1891, born China Norah E. NELSON, dau, age 4, born Jun 1895, born China Marie NELSON, dau, age 1, born Dec 1898, born China I am hoping to locate someone from this NELSON Family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or you know someone who might be, please let me know. Thanks, Shelley
