Who is This?

It's time to dig into the box of photos again...and look what I found. Can you identify this mystery boy...girl...boy? The line across the forehead is actually a crease in the photo, not a scar!

This photo is on a postcard given to me by Minnie Elling, Grandpa Elling's sister, on our first, last and only meeting. The postcard is unused and says Minna E. on the back and then the name of the child.

The photo was taken about 1915 - 1916, I would guess, and that should be a huge hint for you. Write your guesses in the comments and let's see who gets this one right!

Ok...the requested hints -
Hint #1 This person died in the 1960's.
Hint #2 This person could play the accordion.
Hint #3 There are at least three cousins with the
same first name.

The winning guess was Dana; this is Paul Elling, son of Albert and Ida.
