| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Mrs. H. VonMaur. Based on Scott County, Iowa marriage records, city directories and the 1910 Federal census, it seems likely this woman is Mrs. Henry W. VonMaur, Dorothy. In 1896 Dorothy Vollmer married Henry W. VonMaur in Scott County, Iowa. By 1910 they resided at 2516 Eddy in Davenport with a daughter and son. Henry VonMaur was listed as Secretary and Treasurer of Harned & VonMaur Incorporated in the 1910 Davenport city directory. |
