| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled W. A. Klemhan. Based on the 1920 census and the 1910 Davenport city directory it seems possible this is Walter A. Kleinhen and his family: wife Melissa, and sons Garwood, Henry and Rex. Walter Kleinhen was a traveling salesman for a coffee company. Research indicates the family moved to Davenport in 1900 from Minonk, Illinois. |
