Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Soule Family Photograph Collection contains sSix images: Union officer taken in Washington D.C. This is possibly Ambrose Soule but the person and date of the photograph are unknown. There is a photograph of seven people gathered in front of a car. Someone has written on the back “Grand Forks 192?.” No other information is known. There is a picture of a young man in a sailor’s uniform. The picture was taken in Puerto Rico but the date of the photo and the person in the picture are unknown. There is a picture of a woman with two children. Someone has written on the back “Katie Soule and daughters Ada and Ruth.” Though no date is given, the age of the girls in the picture would date the picture about 1900. There is a portrait of a little girl, identified on the back as “Ruth”, taken in Sauk Center, Minnesota. There is no date but Ruth appears to be about ten years old in the picture and that would place the picture at about 1905. There is a picture of a group of men in military uniforms gathered between two cannon. They appear to be Union soldiers from the Civil War period. This is possibly Ambrose Soule’s Civil War unit. There is also a copy of this picture in the collection. The sepia toned original photograph is clearer than the copy.
