| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled H. F. Evans. Based on information from the Davenport City Directory it seems likely this is Harry Fifield Evans, who was the manager of the Davenport Wagon Company for several years and later vice-president and foreign trade manager of the Moline Plow Company until 1924. He was also director of the French & Hecht Wheel Company. His wife was Grace Hamilton French, daughter of Judge Nathaniel French. Harry F. Evans had one son, Robert Tillinghast French who was born in August 1910. See also X697, X1126 and an image of their residence on Wood Lane on DPLVolume 26. |
