A beautiful picture from 1921
I haven't had any new Ortley pictures to post lately, so I decided to share this beautiful, beautiful 1921 wedding photo of my grandparents, Olaf (O.W. or "Billy") and Minnie (Olson) Peterson. They never lived in the town of Ortley, to my knowledge, but had a rural Ortley address for years, and Grandpa was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church of Ortley (now Ortley Free Lutheran).
Grandma and Grandpa both died when I was 14, so I only knew them as "old people". It's fascinating to me now to see them as open-faced, hopeful young people in their early 20s, yet with their faces very recognizable.
