| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Mrs. Levy. Based on information in the 1910 city directories and federal census it seems likely this is Hattie Levy (age 58 in 1910), wife of Meyer Levy. The couple resided at 328 West 12th Street in Davenport and were married for forty years as recorded in 1910 census. See also X1244 and X1245. |
