This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
A lovely gown with very intricate trim…and it has a small apron. I wonder what color the dress was…grey maybe although I hope it was blue.
Best Wishes from “Rufus” Then on the other side it says Aunt Ruth Nelson who most likely was called “Rufus.”
It is a Cyko Postcard that was used from 1904 into the 1920’s. I thin this one is probably from 1905 to 1915 because of her hair style and large bow.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again
My guess - and it is a shot in the dark as there are 20-30 possible Ruth Nelson's:

According to Find A Grave she had no "surviving" children (she had plenty of nephews and nieces).
I thought of you, Intense Guy, this morning as I read news on The Blaze. I was directed to a blog I know that you could contribute to:

Thank you Maybelline - what a fascinating find! A treasure trove of old postcards! I appreciate you sending me over there!
DeleteJust think, we may have had a hand in a very interesting story. The Blaze should hit this sight for a bounty of great images and stories to match. Fun stuff.
