| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Mrs. A. Atkinson. The 1910 Davenport city directory and federal census list two A. Atkinsons, both dentists. This could be Elizabeth, recorded as age 42 in the census or Laura W. recorded as age 40 in that census. Either seems possible for this woman. |
