Emma Seeba + Alice
This is a small heavy card ( 4 X 6 1/2 inches)  The photo is glued onto the card. 
I will guess from the slightly pigeon breasted blouses that this is from around 1910.
Thanks for stopping by.

Stuart from Full Circle 112 sent me a photo of his Grandfather and another Railroad Card Scan.

Update from Iggy:
Mother Emma nee' Wenstrom Seeba (Feb. 6, 1876 - Jan. 14, 1957) the wife of John H Seeba and daughter is Alice Seeba Bolinder (Nov. 18, 1891 in Otter Tail County, Minnesota - Jan. 17, 1980 in Fergus Falls)

John and Emma are Alice's parents.  Emma became the step mother of Johns' children.  Fred Carl 1881-1965, Herman August 1882-1956, Mary 1884-1959, Amelia August Seeba Clodfelter 1889-1987, and Henry unknown birth and death.

Alice married Elmer Bolinder in 1918
This photo went Full Circle 118 on May 5, 2015

  1. I believe this is mother - daughter. By quirk of fate, you may have met them and/or knew them Far Side.

    1. Fergus Falls is about 75 miles from me. We visit the antique shops there! Their Historical Society/Museum is a cranky bunch:(

  3. Sadly, the family member that would probably most wanted this photo very recently passed away at a young age from cancer.

  5. I thought those two had to be related! Well, here's hoping you find a connection to someone in the family who'd be interested!
