Category Archives: Who Will Tell Their Story?

Addressee:  Josefa Erjavec, 1011-13 N. Chicago St., Joliet, Illinois Postmark:  unreadable The message is written in I’m guessing Slavic, as the stamps appear to be from Slovenia. UPDATE 11/26/12 – This postcard was reunited with the granddaughter of the addressee.

This is a real photo postcard.  The back of the card reads: Hello Lucy.  How I would love to see you and your baby. I suppose it is a wonder.  I know mine is.  [cannot read signature] There is no other identifying information, postmark, date, or location.

This gentleman probably looks familiar.  I blogged about him a few weeks ago in Orphan Photo #38. It appears to be another photo of Carlton E. Taylor. The back reads nearly identical to the other photo, except that this time, there is the suffix “LL. D.” added to his name.  It appears Carlton was “doctor of law.”

What’s unfortunate with the photograph is that there is no identifying information.  But what’s neat about it is the fact that there is a photograph of a woman in the background. Could it be his wife”  Perhaps a daughter? The imprint reads: ” “W.P. Hockart, Richland, Iowa.”

Aren’t these little boys adorable?  Unfortunately there is no identifying information for them.  The imprint reads” F. B. Strathmann, Mascoutah, Ill.”

I started this blog one year ago today.  Even though the blog had some down time during September through November, I still managed to post roughly 50 photographs.  I was fortunate to have reunited one photo with family, and have others in the works.  Here’s to another year.  Cheers!

There is no identifying information for this young gentleman.  The photograph is cut to an oval and mounted on a board measuring 5-7/8” x 8-7/8”.  The imprint reads: “Kahn’s Studio, Farmington, Mo.”

Who is this lovely man?  The back reads: Yours Truly Carlton E Taylor Is this a photo of Carlton?  Perhaps.
