Unknown Swedish letter: April 5, 1928 Ogema, Wis.

Dear Friends,
I hope you had a good weekend.The weather around here had it's ups and downs. It all depends on where you live. On Saturday there was one very close lightning strike that made me yell a little. We don't think it struck anything. I guess someone was trying to get my attention for some reason.
Anyway, here is the next letter. I do not know who it is from or even sure what it says, exactly. It is in Swedish. I did my best to try to translate it. I'm not going to type it up because a lot of the words I'm not 100% sure I got right. I will tell you that I'm pretty sure it is a chain letter for prosperity. If you know Swedish maybe you can figure it out better then I can.

Good luck trying to figure out the words. I hope you can do I better job then I did.I tried to use Google translator and a Swedish/English dictionary. Between the two things I did get a few words right.
I almost was not going to show it but then I thought someone might be up to the challenge of translating it.


Here are the last three cards for the courtship and marriage set:

 24. Married and Settled.

 A vision of the Future.

25. "I Just Knew It Would Be a Boy."

The marriage has begun. In the second one there are three children. Two girls and a boy.
The one in the last picture looks like she was one of the bridesmaids.

Here is a random picture for you to look at:

No idea who this but, I do know it was taken during someones class trip somewhere.

Well that's about all I have to share with you today. I hope you have a good week. It's suppose to be a very comfortable week around here. Just the way I like it.
I hope you will come back again soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy

Dear Friends,
How are you this fine day? I hope you had a good weekend. I had gone to Edger to the Antique Tractor and Steam Show. Which was fine except for the mud. Lots and lots of mud.
Anyway here is the next post mark for 1923.

 It's a Christmas Card. So Merry Christmas in August. In case it's hard to read here is what it says.

Christmas Greetings
and Best Wishes for your
Happiness in the new year
    Kay Clary

 I know not much so I'm including a bonus of a Christmas card that has no date and an unknown writer.

This is what it says on the back.

Wishing you
a Happy
New Year
from
you know
Thanks for the present
sure was nice but you
can't fool me I know it was from you.

Not sure who this one is from or when it was written.
This is the last thing from 1923. The next one will be the start of 1924. There will be more letters for that year from a number of different people.

So now a few random pictures I choose for you to see.

I'm not sure when this was taken. At the top it says Jun 64 but to me it looks like a fall picture. What do you think?

I thought since I shared Christmas cards with you I'd share a winter scene.

Or two. This is Uncle Peter, Uncle George, Aunt Jeannie and Uncle Leo when they were a lot younger.

Well news is scarce so I'll close for now.
Till next time.
Your friend,
Sandy

Unknown: Oct. 16, 1922 Westboro Wis.

Dear Friends,
I hope your week was a good one. I suppose your wondering why this one is titled Unknown. I'm not sure who wrote it. Once you read it you could be just as confused as I was reading it. There could be a name at the bottom but I'm not sure. It was more than likely one of his friends being funny. You decide once you have read it. Here it is.

It is very hard to read in places so I'm going to do my best to figure it out. Plus for some reason they were trying to use a lot of big words.

Hello Big Relation.
     Gee you are a very
scrupulous icaccamanausly
extraordinary gentleman
& obstinacy zest that you
will be at the Sunny-
Side Schoolhouse next
Sat night. Which I presume
with hercules  through fares
that you will.
Facinating  we are going
to have a Lyceum here
Friday night and I pon-
der I'll see you there.
By distinguished condescension
& frankness I observe
you will have a little
finn as usual. With
Comanash Phantheism
or utter skysticism
cogitations.
You looked so
disolate and involutarily
Sunday night. Without

your darling insimuations
They are so nice to me. But
kind of suspicious and
browsed. But I revolutionize
that when the convales-
cence diagnoses elope
you will equanimity me
also. Which I'm sure
I'd appreciate.
  The finns sure are
obnoxious people which
I presume you ought to
know by this time.
What! kiss those sale leather
lips. I'm sure I'd not
dictitute about those
imusiscypated dilapitate
squids as these. Now
as to the liquidated
I'm sure your one as to
that moonshine bottle
you had in your car
Ha. Ha. I was deliberately
confused Smogalla  I heard a chicken ran over
Don't show noone  please .               you when
                                              you went home
    
I have no idea who this is from. But to me it looks like they were taking some nips from the moonshine bottle or something. I tried to copy it the best I could but some of those words were just to hard to make out. Maybe you can do a better job at figuring it out.

I know I showed you this one before but it fits here too.

This person mentioned the Finn's. Well here is a picture of Finish girls.

I'm not sure what the girl is the front middle is doing but I have at least another picture with these same girls in it and she is making another face for the camera. I'll show it to you another time. The person who wrote this letter must not of liked the Finnish people. Back then there was a lot of people not getting together because of where their families came from or religion. But it's the same today but it involves different people now.

They also mention something about the Sunnyside School. This is a picture taken in front of it. At least that's what it says on the back. I'm also including this picture because soon there will be a reunion of people who went to school there back in the day. My Mom thinks it could be the last one as most are gone or having to many health problems to attend. There are a few that will be there but not many. The school has not been used in many years. I think it is still there but it is in very bad shape. It needs to be torn down.

Here is one last random picture for you to see.

Well that's all I have for you this time. Maybe you can make more sense out of it then I did.
So till next time.
Your friend,
Sandy
