| Notes | The original negative envelope is labelled "Prof. Young". J. B. Young was the superintendant of the Davenport Public Schools in 1900 and could be the Prof. Young referred to on the envelope. However, his wife Betsy was age 60 in 1900 and the woman in this photograph appears much younger. |
