EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet anticipation among the Children of Olaf Fugelberg as they wait for dinner in Williams County, North Dakota, in September 1937. The scene unfolds in a simple, rustic setting, with the children gathered around a long table, their faces lit by the warm glow of a lamp. Their attire, consisting of worn clothing and practical footwear, reflects the harsh realities of rural life during this era. Olaf Fugelberg, a Norwegian immigrant, was a farmer in Williams County, a region known for its fertile soil and challenging climate. The Great Depression had hit the county hard, and many families, including the Fugelbergs, struggled to make ends meet. Despite the challenges, Olaf and his wife, Ingrid, raised their eight children with love and determination. This photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of a Depression-era farming family. The children's expressions, a mix of curiosity, excitement, and perhaps a touch of anxiety, convey the complex emotions that come with waiting for a meal. The simple act of coming together around the table, however, underscores the importance of family and community in times of hardship. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the American people during the Great Depression. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of a single image to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place.
