Ole Rølvaag sent a postcard to his mother-in-law Karen Berdahl in Garretson, South Dakota shortly after the birth of their first child, Olaf Arnljot Rølvaag.
Director Högberg and his wife are riding in a carriage drawn by a team of white horses, with Professor Kilander in the front seat. Onlookers and an automobile are also shown. The Swedish band visited Saint Peter in 1908. The original caption on the card's front is written in Swedish: "Direktör och fru Högberg (Prof. Kilander i framsätet)" On the back are the initials E.A.A. and the nickname "Fickle".
Members of the German Catholic Benevolent Association are shown marching northward on Minnesota Avenue in St. Peter in a 1911 parade. The arch in the foreground is at the intersection of the avenue with Park Row. Many downtown businesses are visible.
Caption on the back of the postcard reads: "Left to right: Rev. N.P. Xavier, Mrs. N.P. Xavier, Mrs. Christian M. Lunde, Mrs. Ole P. Homier, Ole P. Hoimyr." Mrs. Xavier and Mrs. Lunde were sisters; Rev. Xavier and Mrs. Hoimyr were siblings. Rev. Xavier was the first resident pastor of Ft. Ridgely and Dale Lutheran church, serving from 1876 to 1891. Nils Xavier was a Sami pastor.
