Above, the Confirmation Class at Elk Horn Lutheran Church, April 8, 1900.
27 young men and women are pictured above with their pastor. Per the contributor,
Carl Marinus Petersen is standing in the back row, fifth from the left, immediately left of the older bearded man who appears to be Pastor Peder S. Vig, who served the Elk Horn Lutheran Church from 1899-1902.
Below, a transcription of the handwritten (in Danish) confirmation record in the Elk Horn Church book. The record is dated the 8th of April, Palm Sunday, 1900. Bible verses are listed exactly as recorded; birth months have been translated to English. Column headings added by the transcriber. A question mark (?) indicates the handwriting couldn't be read with certainty.
