The above postcard-type photo was mailed at Frankclay, Mo. on Mar. 28, 1910.  It has 1-cent stamp affixed and was sent to Miss Gertie Duncan, Bonne Terre, Missouri.   Message reads:  dear cousin:  I received your card and was glad to here that aunt was better got home all right don't know when Ill get to come over again but hope it will be soon.  was sorrow that I could not stay longer with you but it was six oclock when we got home so ans soon and by by from your cousin Mary"  Ruth indicates that the signed name is definitely Mar_ and she believes it is Mary. As you can see, the above postcard indicates that it was taken on Big River.  Ruth would like to identify two fishermen and their dog.

Ruth says:  "These two photos were from the collection of Lillie Wilfong Carver of Bonne Terre.  They were both postcard type photos and have nothing written on the back.  The one on the right has "Liberty Studio, 164 So. State St., Salt Lake City, Utah", stamped at one end on the back.  We do not know if this was a traveling photo company or exactly how these photos were acquired by the family, but apparently were taken by a photographer with props."

The above photo of a lady sitting on a rock bluff  was in collection of Lillie Wilfong Carver of Bonne Terre.  Photo is marked on back:  "Jessie along snake river this last spring 1921."   Who is Jessie?  

The above photo which is also from the collection of Lillie Wilfong Carver of Bonne Terre was apparently taken on someone's porch and has written on the back "Jessie and I in 1920."  Again, Jessie who???   Also, need identity of woman in plaid dress standing beside her.

This photo from collection of Lillie Mae Wilfong Carver of Bonne Terre is marked on back:  "this was taken in May at one of my gransons wedding  oh yes we were married 49 years Dec 13, 1964 that a long time".  Anyone recognize this handsome couple or the wedding date which would have been December 13, 1915?
