Svea Holm is standing at the right end of the confirmation class. Lutheran confirmations usually occur at age 13 or 14. The Holm family was living in Port Wing, Wisconsin, when Svea was that age. The church in the background at the left of the photo resembles the existing First Lutheran Church of Port Wing, except for the spike in the middle of the roof.

Unfortunately, the photograph did not focus well on the children’s faces.

Svea and 8 other members of her confirmation class standing in a field.

Dust and/or other blemishes have not been removed from this version of the image.
