Recently I came across a picture of a particular family business. The following week, I happened upon a newspaper article that talked about that business. The business had belonged to my granduncle Edmund (Ed) Joseph Peltier (I wrote about him a few years ago); he is one of my Grandma Ellen (Peltier) Vadnais’ brothers. After World War I he lived in White Bear Lake on Division Avenue and worked as a mechanic. I knew he eventually ran his own garage, but I had not found anything on it. I don’t know when he opened the garage, but according to the 1937 newspaper article “the garage has been closed since Mr. Peltier was incapacitated last spring,” so it would have closed in the spring of 1936.
The following 2 pictures are from a trip to the redwood forest taken by Adlore and Ellen Vadnais along with Ellen’s sister and brother-law, Vina and Howard Bloom.
Thanks for visiting, come back soon,
