| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled D. Mittlebuscher. Based on Davenport city directories and the 1910 Federal census it is likely this is the Richard M. Mittelbuscher family. Richard (possibly Dick?) is age 46, Laura (40), Edwin (8), Richard and Frank (both 3). This image may have been taken about 1908 based on the babies. Spelling of Mittelbuscher confirmed in Davenport City Directories. |
