Subject: [CARPENTER] CARPENTER Family Photograph
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Miss Delia CARPENTER of Redwood Falls,
Redwood Co., Minnesota. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
early 1900's with Delia appearing to be in her 20's at the time it was
taken. In addition to her name and location, she has written "Merry Xmas"
on the back of the photograph as if it was a gift to someone. ...
