| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled "Elsie Glaspell". Based on information in the Davenport city directories and the 1900 and 1910 census, and Scott County Iowa Marriages it is probable this image is Elsie Jeanette Glaspell Spry, daughter of James and Ella F. Glaspell. She is listed as a teacher in both the city directory and census in 1910. In September of 1912 she married Berthel Floyd Spry in Davenport. |
