Luverne and Genevie Liffengren Photos

These photos were taken by Luverne and Genevie Liffengren. Doug Jansen scanned them in 2023. 


These are scans of the negatives rescued from the Liffengren farmhouse just before it was sold. Each envelope contained the negatives, usually from one roll of film. Envelopes were numbered arbitrarily as they were pulled out of a shoebox at random. Descriptions should be coming. For now, just enjoy looking at these photos amassed by the Liffengren family and now brought to light. About one envelope a day will be added to the list, so check back.

I’m guessing that these are very old photos taken by Gen when she lived with her parents.

Env 98a

~ 1950

Black Hills, SD. Mt. Rushmore.

These were 120/620 large B/W negatives. OLD! There were many photos in this envelope so I’ve divided it into groups of about 20 each.

Some may be a class trip (HS?) to the Black Hills. I'm assuming Genevie Liffengren took these photos and that these are classmates of hers.

Env 98b

~ 1950

Black Hills. Draper, SD

More photos (21-40) from Env 98. Some may be a HS class trip to the Black Hills. I'm assuming Genevie Liffengren took these photos and that these are classmates of hers. I'm guessing these photos were taken around 1950.

Env 98c

~ 1950

Draper, SD

This is the third set (41-60) from this envelope. There seem to be some photos taken at her home and some taken of a church group or function. Some appear to be of her classmates. I'm guessing these photos were taken around 1950.

They seem to be photos taken at her home near Draper and some taken of a church group or function. Some appear to be of her classmates on a trip to Rapid City and the Black Hills. I'm guessing these photos were taken around 1950.



Env 98e

~ 1950

Draper, SD. Rapid City, SD

This is the fifth set (81-100) from this envelope. Some photos seem to be at Gen’s home near Draper. Others of her classmates on a trip to Rapid City and the Black Hills. Also several of a coed baseball game. I'm guessing these photos were taken around 1950.

Env 98f

Env 99

Draper, SD. Sturgis, SD.

These are 620/120 negatives - the larger b/w negatives. These seem to be a school band bus trip to Sturgis High School with a stop at Mt. Rushmore. Gen appeared to be in the band, but I don't know which instrument she played.
