Back in Texas, circa 1903

Mabel Cavallin, Hulda Damstrom,  and Amy Paulson with friends, Olivia Texas, circa 1903
This picture has been republished in a new post with more information and more speculation. You can go to the newer post by clicking   HERE.

Standing in back: unknown, Hulda Damstrom, unknown (damage on face caused by adhesion of tissue to emulsion during storage).
Center: Mabel Cavallin seated on lap of unknown woman, Amy Paulson
Seated in front: unknown woman.

This photo is dated by reference to the earlier post showing the  Pehr and Hanna Swenson family. Since the same background is used, they were probably taken on the same day.

Our "unknown"  ladies in this picture also occur in other pictures in the set. For instance look at the earlier picture of Swedish American settlers to find several of these ladies at an earlier date.
