"Billy" in the 1930s. |

Marilyn and
Verna Lou with Norma in Luverne, Minnesota around 1938. |
Esther married Otto
Kundert in 1942. Otto was a translator working with the German prisoners of war. After the
war when the War Crimes trials were going on in Nuremberg he helped interrogate the Nazi
ringleaders who were eventually hung. He knew them all. The stories he has! I have free
long distance on my cell phone on weekends and have chatted with him on many occasions for
hours. The picture on the right was probably taken around 1945. |

Uncle John
around 1944. |
Norma and Mabel,
1947 |

Robert
"Cliff" McNaughton with his grandson Ross Holme (me!) and David Nelson,
1948. |
| Esther and Otto in Mabel's living
room around 1950. Sonia's eyes are closed as if it is all too much for her to handle. Ha!
I see the piano and sure wish grandma would play something. |
|
Abt 1950... Uncle John with
binoculars... He was so funny...
|
Calmer and Clara
with their daughter Melva and grandchildren --around 1956. Actually, Melva's descendants
have suggested it might be Virginia there instead of Melva. We await clarification on
that... |
| Our family visited Ike and Hylma
in the summer of 1957. That is Ike on the right and Kendal in the teeshirt. My mom, Norma,
in the middle, and Hylma beside my mom. |

I recognize my grandfather Robert Clifford McNaughton on the far left of this
picture. He looks very young. I don't see my grandmother in the picture anywhere. Maybe
she is snapping the photo. I also don't recognize anyone else in the picture. I get the
feeling this is a church group in Lake Preston, maybe a marriage. The remainder of the
pictures on this page will mostly be old photographs of my grandmother Mabel.
| Grandma Mabel was quite photogenic as a young girl.
This photograph appears to have been taken when she was around 18 years old. 1923. |
 |
Here is another photo from around the same year,
1923. |
 |
| I am unsure of what age she is here, but she seems
to be daydreaming. |
 |
Mabel around 1924. |
 |
| Around 1925. She has written in her album beneath
this photograph: "Are you happy?" |
 |
Mabel and Cliff picnicing at Lake Wildwood in the
summer of 1927. |
 |
| Mabel and Norma in 1935. It appears that a very
young Norma must have colored this black and white print. |
 |
Mabel and one of her sisters cavorting. Abt 1935. |

Grandpa and Grandma loved traveling through the Black Hills.
Sometimes I went along with them.
