I have an original postcard photograph of Arvedsons from McHenry Co., IL, who lived in Colusa Co., CA. Pictured are “Uncle Charlie and Aunt Ella, and Edith; Alice; Uncle Henry and Aunt Martha Arvedson”. I’d like to get the picture back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in about 1920, and Charlie, Ella, Henry and Martha look to be in their 50s-60s, while Edith and Alice look to be 30s or 40s.

I found the family of Charles and Ella E. Arvedson in the 1900 census for Arbuckle (Colusa Co.) CA, showing Charles born Jul 1857; Ella was age 40, both born IL, and Edith C. was born CA in Jun 1880. OneWorldTree shows Charles Adolphus Arvedson, born McHenry Co., IL on 9 Jul 1857, married in Dec 1877 in McHenry Co. to Ella Strohecker. Edith C. Arvedson was born 18 Jun 1880.

Henry J. Arvedson was age 56 in the 1920 census for Williams (Colusa Co.) CA, and wife was Martha, age 52. OneWorldTree shows Martha was born 29 Nov 1867 in IL, and Henry John, born 22 Aug 1863 in McHenry Co., IL. In 1910, Henry and Martha lived in Colusa Co., but backing up to 1900, Henry J. lived in Blacks (Yolo Co.) CA, and Martha is not shown.
