Pretty Maggie

Cabinet card by Strong, Kewanee, Illinois. The card that was inserted into the album, with this cabinet card, says that this is "Maggie Wallen". I believe that this photographer is probably Luke Strong, who started out in Oquawka, Henderson County, Illinois, before 1870, and subsequently worked in Aledo, Mercer County, Illinois. This is probably Margaret Wallen, daughter of Olaf & Katherine Wallen, who was born in Sweden in 1869. The family was living in Sparta, Knox County, Illinois, in 1880. They apparently came to this country in 1872 or 1873. This photo probably dates from the late 1880's.
