Best Man - Milo Jordal

Here is a photo* of Milo Jordal (far left) as the Best Man at a wedding.     Milo was the son of Elizabeth (Brown) and Ole Jordal, grandson of Isabelle (Halvorson) and Lars Jordal and great grandson of Sigri Gunnersdatter and Ole Larson.




































The photo looks like it may have been from the late 1920's or early 1930's.  I do not know the couple, nor the woman to the right.    If anyone knows the details regarding this photo, please contact me.
