Who

• “Dear Friend” is Clara Marie “Mary” (Petersen) Brunken.
• “Alma” is as yet unidentified.
• “my girl” is as yet unidentified.

Location

Platte Center, Nebraska

Date

October 12 (year not given).

What

Alma’s daughter “my girl” will be 3 in two months.

Can anyone identify who the mother “Alma” and her daughter are?

Alma’s Son?

The following picture was also in grandmother’s post card album, but has no message on the back.

The reason for including this picture here is that the photographer’s prop chair that both children are sitting on appears to be the same.  The facial features of the two children are similar.  Or, maybe these two children are unrelated and it is just a coincidence that the same photographer with the same props took the two pictures.

Either way, please help identify these two children and Alma.
