| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled "S.A. Finger or Mrs. A. Finger". Based on information found in the 1900 and 1910 census records and the 1906-07 Davenport city directory it is likely this is Nellie (Mrs. Samuel A.) Finger. She was born in September 1878 and was married in 1898. By 1910 her family consists of husband Samuel, sons James (10) and Orlando (8), and daughter Alice M. (6). |
