Sampson Family History & Genealogy

I have an old studio photograph of Louise SAMPSON HUSEBY which was taken at the Alldrin Studio in Fergus Falls, MN which I’d like to get back to a family member. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Louise appearing to be in her 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Louise and her family:

Louise or Lovisa M. SAMPSON was b. 9 Jan 1861 in Larvik, Vestfold, Norway, and married Andrew A. HUSEBY (1853-1920 or 1930) and they had 5 children including William; Harry; Arthur Oscar; Robert; and Alma Olivia HUSEBY, all born between 1881 and 1889. Louise died 14 Mar 1891 and is buried in the First Lutheran South Cemetery in Fergus Falls, MN.

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of a family member. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley

I’ve “rescued” four old photographs belonging to the EDWARDS Family. The first is a photograph of Amelia EDWARDS which was taken at the Childs Studio in Ishpeming, MI. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880’s with Amelia in her teens or 20’s at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written “Dad’s Sister” on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is one of Maud and Earl EDWARDS and was taken at the Lang Studio in Tower, MN. The photograph also appears to have been taken in the 1880’s with the two children likely about 2-5 years old at the time.

The third photograph is one of Earl EDWARDS taken at the Murdock Studio in Knoxville, TN. This photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890’s or early 1900’s with Earl appearing to be about 10 years old at the time. The fourth photograph is another one of Amelia EDWARDS, this one taken at the Murdock Studio in Knoxville, TN sometime in the 1890’s or early 1900’s when she was in her 20’s or 30’s. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this EDWARDS Family:
