This could be the sister of yesterday’s solemn girl, but this one has a bit of a smirk on her face. I like to think that she was laughing at something her sister just did, like put bunny ears on the photographer after he settled under the black drape to frame the shot. Probably not, but still, it’s a fun thought.
Again the photographer is James, at 120 Clinton Street, Iowa City, IA. One of these days I will go back through all my posts and create a category for each photographer for other people searching old photos. Until then, I am just going to claim a lack of time.
Who Were They? 
Just looking at lists of family names of people living in Iowa City, IA in 1895 or thereabouts, I notice a whole bunch of Walker’s. Perhaps revisiting Alexander James Walker’s family tree is in order.

Another family of – just curious “migration” is that of Robert Charles OPFELL – They moved to Iowa City, IA from Covert Township, Van Buren, Michigan – which happens to be very near Muskogee and Benton Harbor.

Iggy were you a detective in your previous life? Because you ask such good questions and trace every thread until you’d think it’s ended, but then you think of something else.
