Alfred and Ruth Horstman Alfred and Ruth Elisabeth Horstman née North Dear Roger, Thank you for the note and picture–the two people are my parents Ruth Elizabeth and Alfred Horstman and in all probability the pic was taken before I was born. I would guess between 1921 and 1923, Inasmuch as he was a telegrapher with the Chicago and Northwestern RR it could have been at the time of their wedding in Thermopolis, WY in 1921. Sincerely. Bob H Thermopolis, Wyoming c. 1921 |

This photo seems to be taken circa 1928 based on the appearance of Carl Edgar Horstman (b 1915) in similar photos. I do not show any immediate family members passing in the 1928 time frame. 611 South Main Street, Ida Grove, Ida County, Iowa Map |
