Ida and Minnie

In this photo, the woman on the right was identified as Ida (Huner) Elling, wife of Henry. The other woman is unidentified, but in comparing her face with the photo of the Elling family, I am almost sure this is Minnie Elling, Grandpa Albert's youngest sister.

Ida and Minnie were very close in age. Ida was born on April 14, 1901, and Minnie on Dec. 13, 1900. Maybe these girls were friends. Maybe that's how Henry met Ida. Maybe?

Compare photos for yourself. Do you agree this is Minnie Elling?
