| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled C. P. Skinner. Based on information in the 1910 census it seems likely these youngsters are Warren (13), Alice D. (9) and Mabel (6) the children of Charles P. and Mabel Skinner of 1317 11th Street in Moline, Illinois. See also X371 and X468 which seem similar. |
