| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Mrs. Harry Evans. Based on information in the 1912 Davenport City Directory and the 1920 federal census it seems possible this is Grace Evans with son Robert. Robert is listed as 9 years old in the 1920 census making him a toddler circa 1912. Harry F. and Grace Evans are listed in the 1912 Davenport City Directory with Harry listed as the manager of Davenport Wagon Company. |
