Ella McAdam Caufield travelled back "home" a second time with her son, Waldo. The photo shows Waldo, and Bowser the dog, Jean McAdam Dennis (a half-sister, she really was Jean Burnet Dennis, but took her step-father's surname as a young child), Ella McAdam Caufield, and her father Matthew McAdam. The photo is dated 1925.
It would seem that Ella McAdam Caufield took her first-born baby boy, Waldo, back to Blooming Prairie, MN to show him off to her father and brothers and sisters.
This is a photo of Jim Waning and his two younger cousins. Joe and Waldo were the sons of Jack Caufield and Ella McAdam. On the edge of this photo is written, "July 18, 1943 - Just before Nook's wedding". I think it Waldo's marriage to Eleanor maybe - I've never heard of anyone referred to as "Nook".
I have resided in Lane County, Oregon most of my life, except while I attended Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I enjoy gardening, cross stitching, reading, and genealogy.
