Stamped on back of photo is Nordgren Studio Photography, Polo. Illinois. Bert Nordgren operated a photo studio from 1949 to 1970. He advertised in the Polo Centential book, 1957. My Grandmother died in1965 so am guessing this picture is probably from the 1950s.

I found several news clippings about Grush family reunions and a photo of one of them. My Grandmother Ida B. Toms Grush originally of Mount Morris is the lady in dark clothing seventh from the right in the second row and my Uncle Vernon Grush way at the top in front of the tree at the left, just above a lady in a checked dress. I can’t identify anyone else.
