Kids in chairs! At first glace I thought a girl ( because of the bow in her hair) and a boy ( his hair is parted off to the side).
This is an Azo Real Photo Postcard with the triangles up= 1904 to 1918.
In the same hand as we are used to seeing in this album: My Aunt Frona Wheller (Wheeler) Grandchildren Grace Wheller ( Wheeler), Watson (Fred) Red Oak. So there is a girl and a boy in this photo..both Grands of Aunt Frona.
Nettie’s Mother had a sister named Amanda Saphrona, so I will assume that this is one and the same Aunt Frona. I have decided that Nettie just spelled Wheeler, Wheller some days..
Red Oak is a little town in Iowa.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
Update from Iggy:
Fred Watson (b. 1878? in Montgomery County, Iowa) married Grace L. Wheeler (b. 15-Jun-1885 and d. 15-Nov-1972 in Red Oak, Iowa) when she was 18 years old on 04-Nov-1903 in Red Oak, Montgomery County, Iowa. The groom's parents were A.W. Watson and Sarah E. Brown. The bride's parents were Augustus Wheeler and Amanda Saphrona Mccombs (Aunt Frona).
Fred and Grace Wheeler had Helen Watson (1906), Dean R Watson (1909), Margaret L Watson (1910), Mary J Watson (1911), and 87 year old Augustus D Wheeler living with them in 1930.
From this information we will assume that the notation gives the names of the parents of Aunt Frona's Grandchildren. So the Grandchildren in the photo are Helen and Dean Watson in 1910 or so. Thanks Iggy!
Update from Iggy:
A Helen Watson married John W. Rapalje on 24-Sep-1924 and moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa. I believe Dean R Watson died fairly young but not before having Dean R Watson, Jr.
..and there... frustratingly enough, the trail goes cold.
