  	Tidlig bilde av Oli Skrogstad.
  	Circa early 1900's. Photo has 5 men. The names written on the back are on 5 separate lines. Names: Leslie Thorlaksson, Mundi Christianson, Oli Skrogstad, Grimsi, and Sigurdson. May 2013: I talked to Olaf Skrogstad yesterday about this photo. Olaf lives in the greater Seattle area and is 90 years old. He said that his father was Oli Skrogstad and is the gentleman on the bottom left of the photo. He thinks that the man sitting next to his father in the front row was Grimsi Sigurdson. (yes....he said that Grimsi Sigurdson was indeed "one" person. So, there is one name missing from this photo). Olaf thinks that the man in the center of the top row might have been Mundi Christianson, but he did not know that for certain. September 2017: Names on back of photo were: Leslie Thorlakson, Mundi Christianson, Oli Skrogstad, Grimsi, and Sigurdson. In 2013, Olaf Skrogstad (a Norwegian that lived in the Mountain community, identified the man of the lower left as his father, Oli Skrogstad). He believed that the man at the top center may have been Mundi Christianson.   ...the man at the bottom right of the photo could be Hallgrimur Bergman Sigurdson ... he went by a nickname of "Grimsi". The back of the photo had names on the back. They were labeled by Kristjan "Chris" Gudmundson. Grimsi is listed on one line and underneath that name is Sigurdson. Perhaps, he meant to say Grimsi Sigurdson (who could probably have been Hallgrium Bergmann Sigurdson, who was born on 24 Nov 1886 at Thingvalla, and died on 11th January 1956, and is buried at Thingvalla in North Dakota).
