  2. The post card was mailed from Anthony, Minnesota -- Anthony was the birthplace of Nora Helgeson -- see: http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/j/e/n/Ronald-G-Jensen/COL13-0045.html

    Nora's title is "Miss" in 1904, as she did not marry until 1913, according to: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rigg-39

    Which is interesting in that her daughter, Reita Rigg, was born in 1912: http://sortedbyname.com/pages/s120493.html

    Reita graduated from St. Olaf's college in 1934: http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/St_Olaf_College_Viking_Yearbook/1934/Page_170.html

    Reita married Robert Steele: http://graylight.nfshost.com/Genealogy/fam00110.htm

    Reita and Robert ended up living in California: http://www.leagle.com/decision/196098519fwtcm966_1807/STEELE%20v.%20COMMISSIONER

    And that's where the case grows cold.
