| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled L. W. Petersen. Based on city directories, census findings and local newspapers it seems likely this is Lavinius W. Petersen and his wife, Anetta (Hoepfner) Petersen at about the time of their Golden Wedding Anniversary in July 1908. L. W. Petersen died in 1910 and Anetta died in 1914. See also X477a and b for individual images of this man and woman. |
