 File — Box: 1, Folder: 6

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Frederick E. Stratton Family Photograph Collection documents the Stratton family while they lived in Northfield, Minn. and Fargo, N.D. The portraits of Frederick E. Stratton span from being taken in Northfield to Fargo and one taken later in life circa 1926. There is also a snapshot of him working at his desk in the family library. There is a series of five snapshots of Frederick and Mary Stratton with their grandchildren in Fargo. All are outdoor scenes taken on sidewalk or in front of a building, likely on the Fargo College campus. In most of them is their grandson Arthur Frederick Stocker when a very young boy. The Alice Stratton Stocker file contains nine images, most of which are formal studio portraits, taken before her marriage. The portraits were taken in Fargo and Northfield, Minn. Several are taken with other young women, including one taken at Flandreau, S.D. There is one photograph taken outside a house, likely in Fargo of two men and three women. The people are identified on the back as Will Kneebone, Frank Carr, Pauline Smith, Evelyn Branvold and Alice Stratton. The final two photographs are a portrait of Frederick’s father Joseph W. Stratton, labeled ‘Spartansburg, Pennsylvania., 1915’, and a nice image of the Stratton family on the front porch of their home in Northfield, Minn. It was taken by Fowler View Co. of Minneapolis.
