| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled "E. J. Baker". The 1906-07 Davenport city directory lists an Edgar J. Baker, traveling salesman, and wife Jennie residing on West Third Street in Davenport. In the 1900 and 1910 census a James Baker is living in Davenport, but no E. J. or Edgar J. is listed. With this limited information we are unable to determine the identities of the subjects in this photograph. |
