I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as "Grandmother LESTER" which was taken in Mankato, MN in the early 1900's. A note on the back says "taken at Mankato when we and Grace & Hugo lived in the Union Block on Front Street". I believe that Grace & Hugo are Grace LESTER and Hugo BERG and that this is either Grace's Mother? or her Grandmother (Father's Mother). The woman in the photograph appears to be in her 60's or 70's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Nettie Grace LESTER was born 7 Mar 1890 in Louisa, IA, the daughter of William Aluson LESTER (b. 16 Apr 1853 in Schenectady, NY – d. 10 Sept 1909 in Blue Earth Co. MN the son of Alanson LESTER and Mary ROBBINS) and Viola Grace LOCKWOOD (1855-1939). Grace was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Faith U.; John Francis; Nettie Grace; William A.; and James R. LESTER, all born between 1883 and 1896. Records indicate that Mrs. Grace LESTER (the Mother) lived at 307 ½ S. Front Street Apt #2 at some point in time, listing her occupation as Nurse. Grace (the daughter) married Hugo BERG in Mankato or Blue Earth, MN on 7 Nov 1911. Grace died Nov 1973 in Indianola, IA. Census records provide the following details: 1910 census of Mankato, MN: W. A. LESTER, age 55, a widow, 5 children/3 living, born IA, parents born Canada/IN Faith W. LESTER, dau, age 27, born IA, parents born NY/IA, a Dressmaker N.
