Betty, Charles (in the middle), and James. Year unknown. |

Betty, year unknown. |
 |
James (in the back) with Charles 'driving'. Year unknown, photo postcard. |
 |
Photo postcard with George III and Betty. Sept 21, 1907. Text is:We have been spending the day in Milwaukee. How do you like our pictures? With Love, Geo. + Betty. |
 |
Back of above postcard. Relationship to Mrs. Chas. Johnson of Chicago
is completely unknown. Update (Jan, 2010) - Cora Tostenson (Sophy's sister) married Charles Johnson, so this is presumably a postcard of her niece & nephew, and very likely written by Sophy. |
 |
Christmas photo/card, dated Dec. 1924 (but it seems unlikely that the photo was taken in December...) |
 |
And all of the signatures on the back. The chopped off content on the right hand side says: "Delay unavoidable" |
 |
A photo postcard: James on the left and Charles on the right. The identities of the two women are unknown. |
 |
Charles and George III, year unknown. |
 |
Buildings in Cement, OK. Probably "Gortonville" area. Based upon the map on the inside front of George III's book, the well is probably the No. 1 Surbeck (oil) well, or possibly the No. 1 Wade (gas) well. |
 |
Probably from March, 1921. A cropped version of this photo exists
in George III's book, with the caption "Breaking a road through the drifts."
Yes, the fuzzy/obscured thing on the left is a car. Someone was moving pretty quickly when they hit the drift. It also seems that there is someone watching from the door of the office building (marked "A"). |
 |
The envelope from the family's 1929 christmas card. |
 |
With two inserts inside, both signed by the family members. |
