| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Bess Moore. Based on Davenport city directories and the 1900 Federal census it seems likely Bess (born 1895) is the daughter of John E. and Estella V. Moore who resided at 824 East 14th in Davenport in 1906-1907. John E. Moore is listed as a mechanical and electrical engineer and the city electrician. This may be an eighth grade graduation photograph or a confirmation photograph when Bess was about fifteen years old. |
