[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 52440, member: 33"]The copy photograph with the poem on the back was published by Mitchell of Kansas City, Missouri. I wonder who in the family had moved there? The photographer was named Arthur Mitchell, and I found a couple of sites indicating that he was active there in the 1870s and 1880s. He was listed in the city directory for 1886. That dark card stock and the type of lettering used leads me to believe that the copy photo was from the mid to late 1880s or possibly the early 1890s. By the way, I finally took the time to read this entire thread. Great work, Bakers! Fig[/QUOTE]
