(Lydia's Lindsborg Photography, 1900-1925)
In and Around Lindsborg
These photographs most likely were also taken between 1900 and 1914, while Lydia was at her first Lindsborg job at the Sohlberg Millinery Company and her succeeding job at Bethany College as Dean of Women and Matron of the Ladies Dormitory at Lane Hart Hall.
In most cases the venues could not be identified in and around Lindsborg. The subjects in the photographs are of the little children with one of Lydia's twin sisters, of Nina and her girlfriends, and one lone photograph of Seth Sohlberg, Lydia’s nephew, son of her brother Theodore Sohlberg who owned a lumber company in Little River, Kansas where he built a house, referred to today as the Sohlberg Mansion.
To vary the viewing experience, sometimes I have displayed the photographs individually and then in groupings.
