Spotlighting photos from my extensive photo archive
This Week It Is-
Hiram Maine [1904-1979] & Loren Maine [1901-1980]
My Great-Grandfather & His Older Brother
This photo, taken sometime in the early 1910's in rural Cass County, Minnesota was sent by Minnie Maine down to her old neighbors the Hartman's in Southern Minnesota. This fun snapshot of her two youngest sons was likely taken on their farm in Home Brook Township, due to the hats & raised fists, it's pretty much impossible to tell which one is which.
Hiram would continue to live on that farm the rest of his life, dying in 1979. Loren would eventually move back down to Southern Minnesota and farm in rural Winnebago, later moving into town. He died of cancer a year after his brother.
