Shortly after his immigration from Norway to the US, A P Holand was connected with photographer A P Overland, in Fergus Falls, ND. The firm of Overland and Holand advertises heavily in a Danish language newspaper beginning August 1886 through June 1889 when the advertisements abruptly stop.
The last news item says that Holand has gone to Montana. Note that Montana was where Holand’s citizenship was naturalized in 1889. This is shortly before Albert Holand begins appearing in the Grand Forks, ND, city directories.
Albert P Holand didn’t move around much during his career compared to some other photographers of the era. From 1892 to 1900 he lived and worked at 222 S Third. From 1903 to 1909 he worked at 222 S Third and lived at 712 S Third.
From 1910 on, there is no gallery listed for him so he apparently is working as photographer for a gallery owned by someone else. He retires about 1923 and his death certificate in 1927 lists him as “retired photographer”.
From small notices in the newspaper, Grand Forks Herald, Holand appears to have accumulated some rental property and probably lived on the income from that.

The above item is Danish, according to Google Translate, and says: The partnership between the photographers Overland and Holland has been dissolved, and Mr A P Overland is running the business here on the spot. He pays all expenses against the old company and calls in what the company left outstanding. Mr. Holland has gone to Montana.

My Great Great Grandmother: Andrea Halvorsen and her children (my Great Grandfather: John Halvorsen Sr. is one of them) had their family photo taken by Holland at his 222 S. 3rd St office in 1894. I have a copy of the original hanging in my living room.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have that record of your family. It is rather rare. And knowing the actual date is a plus. Thanks for your comment which confirms the research for that period of Holand's career.
