| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled B. F. Peek and baby. Based on information in census and city directories it seems possible that this is Anita Bell Peek, second wife of Burton F. Peek, and their daughter Eloise who was born in 1912. Peek was a lawyer and president of Tri-City Railway Company, residing in Moline, Illinois. |
