These photos are of my Great Uncle's Store and Post Office, in Glory.
They were taken from a page in my book about my ancestors in Aitkin County.
You are looking at the Glory store and home of the Erick O. Swanson family. Erick is holding the horses. Also, the children on the porch are little Swansons. We don't know who's in the front of the wagon, but we think that Grandma Swanson (Karin) is in back with a Swanson child. One thing for certain, there is strong Swedish coffee on the stove in the summer kitchen (the little building in the middle).

Kjel Nickander's farm, Glory, in Nordland Township. 1887
This was my Great Grandfather's farm. The day the picture was taken must have been wash day.
