Black and white photograph of a large group of boys that make up a chapter of the Boy Scouts of America. According to the title written on the photograph, they are all cub scouts from Wharton County and they are posing for a portrait to commemorate a summer field day.

Mads Andersen Home

Photograph of a homestead in Danevang, Texas, belonging to Mads Andersen. Across a narrow body of water in the foreground, various plants and bushes surround the main property off to the left in the back. It is a two-story structure with intersecting gable roofs and a balcony on the second floor bordered by post railings. This same balcony creates an overhang for a first floor entrance. A thick blanket of snow covers the property.

[Reverend Eric Moller and Pastor Dan Laudedale]

Photograph of Reverend Eric Moller and Pastor Dan Lauderdale at Pastor Dan's farewell party. They are standing in front of a table, on which a folded piece of paper has been opened. Two small Danish flags emerge from the bottom left corner. Reverend Eric is standing on the left smiling toothily. He wears a two-piece gray suit and striped tie. To the right is Pastor Dan Lauderdale, who holds his hands behind his back and restrains a smile. He wears a dark blue shirt and dark pants. Hand-written text on the back of the photograph indicates that the photograph was taken at "Com. Hall", perhaps an abbreviation for Community Hall.

[St. Ansgar's Church After 1945 Storm]

Photograph of the front facade of St. Ansgar's Church in Danevang, Texas. According to accompanying information, the photograph was taken shortly after a 1945 hurricane destroyed the church. Left standing is the main entry to the church. This structure is surrounded by different construction materials - roofing, large wooden poles, walls and siding - piled up in large heaps. A few small trees are scattered around the church. To the left of this destruction, in the foreground of the image, is a tombstone with text on the front that reads "Gudsfred", but the smaller text on it cannot be read with certainty.

Christian and Katrine Nissen

A postcard and photograph of the Nissen family and their home, respectively, held together by a sticker which reads, "Chv. Nissen (Both)." Christian and Katrine Nissen, husband and wife, are presumably pictured in the postcard, but names, although provided, were not matched to individuals. There are several women, men, and children on the postcard. They are in front of a single-story structure with intersecting gable roofs, on a dirt ground with no visible trees or plants. In the photograph, a two-story home with horizontal siding stands amidst several bushes and trees. Intersecting gable roofs cover the second story. A mansard roof further down creates a second-story balcony bordered by railing. This same roof projects outwardly as an overhang supported by four pillars. Hand-written text on the back of the photograph reads, "This home and 80 acres of land was sold. The money sent to Ebenezer Home, Brush, Colorado. The home of Christian and Katrine Nissen (south of the Carl Thyssen home). Aunt Katrine lived there until her death 1/23/53. This was their 2nd home." There is additional text but it cannot be read with certainty.
