Anna Dorman and Her Wedding Party





Name(s): Anna Dorman (Bride) with E. Paul Jones and Anna Holstrom
Date: October 28, 1905
Description: Wedding photo featuring bride, groom and wedding party
Location: Trenton, New Jersey

This photo was taken at Sharp Photo Studios in Trenton, New Jersey. The Dorman wedding was held on October 26, 1905. This formal portrait was possibly taken two days later, on October 28, 1905. The original writing appears to say the photo was taken October 26, but has been written over with a 28. 

In addition to the bride and groom, their bridesmaid and groomsman are pictured. Miss Anna Holstrom was the bridesmaid and Mr. E. Paul Jones was the best man. The groom is not named. The photo had been inscribed "from Mother" by the person who appears to have written over some details in blue ink.

Bridesmaid Anna Holstrom was possibly from Hamilton, Mercer County, New Jersey. Hamilton is just outside Trenton, where the wedding photo was taken. She may have been the daughter of Charles and Anna Holstrom.

The original writing appears to label the bride as Mrs. J. Dorman, so the bride's maiden name is unknown.
