  1. Interesting how life circles back around. These postcards are the same as the ones I receive as Christmas cards or as save-the-date (for a wedding) cards.

    The baby seems to know that he is being photographed. :)

  3. This one has me stymied. I have a feeling that baby Clayton might have died as an infant (and missed the 1910 US census). I tried Rist, Rust, Rast, Rost and Clay, Clayton, Sy, Syl, Sly, and Sylvester in most if not all the various combinations.

    Of Lula Crowder, I only have a theory - I found one in Roland, Bottineau County, North Dakota, the daughter of Horatio Crowder - who apparently married a Carl Nystrom (the spelling also varies all over the place) and moved to Minneapolis who seems to fit - but not knowing who/where Clayton Sylvester R*st was I can't verify anything.

  5. Thank you so much for finding this photo and posting it. My Great Grandmother was Annie M. Anderson Rost. I have other old post card Photos with her hand-writing on the back. I compared the writing to this Photo, and it is a perfect match. Clayton was Charles & Annie Rosts 2nd child of 6, sadly he passed away at the age of about 2. I just recently learned of Clayton, during the pursuit of my family tree. My family still lives in Winnipeg Canada.
    It amazes me that a 100 year old photo, could land in the right hands, with the right people at the right time, to find its way back to family. Keep up the Great work!
