| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled W. H. Fluke. Based on the 1900 census, city directories and local newspapers it seems likely that this is the William H. Fluke family. Wife Ella (Hender) Fluke died in September 1907. The 1900 census lists Egbert as age 14, Mary as 16, and Helen as 4. |
