Hello,

                My name is Mary (Skroch) Flaherty.  I was going through the pictures that need identification on your web site. I am able to identify the girl in her Communion dress standing next to a seatee. She has a bible in her left hand and a candle in her right hand. Her name is Dorothy (Dora) Gospodar. This picture was taken at her Confirmation at age 13 in 1898. She was born  January 25, 1885 in T. Muntz (Jamestown) ,Stutsman County, North Dakota. She married my grandfather, John Thomas Skroch (this is his 2nd wife-first wife died young) on July 4, 1904 in Independence, Trempealeau County, WI at SS Peter & Paul Catholic Church. She died on January 24, 1948 and is buried in SS Peter & Paul Cemetery in Independence. John Thomas Skroch’s parents were Mathias (Matthew) (Maciej) Skroch and his mother was Anna Niwa (Niva). My father was Joseph Phillip Skroch-lived in Arcadia, WI
