PHOTO #1

Wedding picture of ? & ? on 9/27/1916 at Mattoon, WI. This was a triple wedding of Lilly Marie Swanson & Harry Delbert Jersey (I have identified that photo), Sybil Swanson & Adin MacKay; & Carrie Swanson & Joseph Rettinger. 
Which couple is this? 
 



PHOTO #2

This a young couple I believe from the Mattoon area. 
Who are they?

PHOTO #3

This is a picture of two young men.  The ties have MHS on them.  Does that mean Mattoon High School?
 
 

PHOTO #4

Four young people looking like wedding attendants with the same backdrop as above.  The middle back person is Walter A. Johnson.  Who are the others?

UPDATE: One of the pics under Mattoon Mystery Pics, #4 has been identified by Everett Swanson.  He says this is a pic of his parent’s wedding picture.  Clarence Swanson & Gertrude Thorne who is seated, the wedding couple, and Walter Johnson & Esther Swanson Priser are the attendants.

Couple in Hammock.  Who are they???

This is a picture on a postcard of three young ladies perhaps on the John Magnus Swanson homestead near Mattoon.  It was mailed to Walter A. Johnson while he was in SD, and signed by Lillian.
