| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Ed. Walther. Based on information in Davenport city directories and the 1910 Federal census it seems likely this is the Edward D. (43) and Margaret E. (39) Walther family. The parents had been married twenty-one years and Margaret stated she had born seven children, all of whom were living in 1910. Those children and their ages are Myrtle (18), Theresa (16), Edna (14), Mildred (12), Gifford (10), Dorothea (5) and Edward (2). |
