This is Inez Viola Nelson.
The card says:
Wishing you all a Happy New Year From Mr + Mrs I. Nelson
It was sent to Mr and Mrs J.L. Shirley
Most likely this is the one and the same Julius Shirley that received two Real Photo Postcards from Ida Wee yesterday.
This Real Photo Postcard a Cyko dates from 1904 to 1920. I will guess that it is closer to the 1920’s side of things..because of the style of the dress..earlier baby dresses/gowns were very long.
I enjoyed this old photo, I love the lacy more than likely crocheted dress. I like that her cute little toes are peeking out from under the dress.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again:)
Update from Iggy:
Inez Viola Regan nee Nelson (b. 2 Mar 1917 in Rothsay, MN d. 22 May 2000 in Minneapolis, MN) was the daughter of Iver and Ida Nelson. They lived in Trondhjem, Otter Tail, Minnesota during 1930s-1940s.
Inez married Eugene Patrick Regan (b. 30 March 1922 d. 6 February 2010) They had a number of children.

Maybe Ralphie will want the photograph?
:)
Deletecute baby!
ReplyDeleteMy maiden name is Nelson and my Grandparents lived in Otter Tail county. My Grandfather worked for the Otter Tail Electric Coop...or something like that. Those names don't sound familiar to me though!
ReplyDeleteCute baby!
You're right: those toes are adorable, peeking out from that outfit.
ReplyDeleteHow tantalizing to think this might soon become a Full Circle story!
Jacqi,
DeleteThis is definitely a full circle, Inez Nelson (Regan) was my mother. She and my father, Eugene Regan
had 5 kids, Steve, Mare, Mike, Cath and Karen. Everyone’s info was quite correct about
Inez’s parents and date of birth and death. The card was sent to Iver’s Sister, my mother’s aunt.
I couldn’t believe that I stubbled on to this website, it has been a gift that these postcards were saved,
so we can see a part of our family history. By the way, intense guy thought maybe Ralphie may
want the photograph, Ralphie was our dad’s orange tabby cat. Karen
Contact nme I am happy to mail you the photo. My email can be found by clicking on the yellow flower:)
DeleteShe was a sweet baby with gorgeous eyes.
ReplyDeleteI got an email from Karen today she is a daughter! :) Hopefully I will mail the postcard soon:)
