| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled T. N. Hooper. Based on information in the 1910 Davenport City Directory and federal census it seems likely this is Lucretia Anne (Boynton) Hooper, wife of Thomas N. Hooper. The Hoopers were married in 1857 in Massachusetts and moved to Davenport in 1873. Lucretia was 77 years old in 1910 and she died 15July1914. The child in the image is likely one of her 8 great grandchildren or 14 grandchildren. |
