Misc. Notes
Marion wrote: “As the story goes . . Mom (Sena) at the age of 21 had gone to the city [Aberdeen] to work as a maid for this family. She became pregnant by the son [Roswell Perry Kruidenier, born 1887], and of course he couldn’t marry the maid?? So she came back home and Perry was born in Aberdeen. He was raised with the Oswoods and was part of the family for several years, until Mom and Dad married. It was a secret well kept for many years, and many of the Windh kids did not know this until Mom and Dad celebrated their 25th anniversary. Perry was 3 1/2 years old when they married.”

The studio photo may date from about 1945 because father Carl had passed away, Carl (b. 1933) looks about 12, and Lloyd who served in the military is out of uniform:
