Poor storage conditions resulted in several of the photos in this group being badly stained and/or damaged.

•      "Dora Baartz & Edna".  This appears to be a "real photo" postcard.  This snapshot is a bit blurred, probably due to the camera not being held steady when the snapshot was made.  In the closeup, I repaired a large white splotch on the little girl's leg where the emulsion had come off.

•    Reinhold Fuessel.  This appears to be a "real photo" postcard.  There are a lot of white spots on the front of this photo where the emulsion has been damaged and pulled off the photo.  It also exhibits a "silvering" effect, which seems to be typical of photos taken in the 1920s - 1930s.  I'm not sure what can be done to correct this.

•      Clara Galler and Edna Grass.  This is a "cabinet" sized photo - about 4 1/4 by 6 1/2 inches.  This photo is badly stained and faded.  I digitally enhanced it a bit to try to get rid of some of the worst of the mold and stains.  It is the only one from this group that has photographer information on it:  "Alf Otto - Taylor, Texas".

•      Eddie Galler.  Eddie may be related to Clara Galler in the above photo.  This appears to be a "real photo" postcard.  Eddie is in pretty good shape compared to the rest of the photos in this group.

•      Minnie Gross Schier.  This photo is badly faded.  I fixed it up the best I could, but I don't think it did much good because enhancing the photo also enhanced a lot of defects.  It is about 2 inches by 3 inches in size.

•      Elmer Stauffer.  This appears to be a "real photo" postcard.  In the second photo, I cropped the image to get closer to the little boy and tried to remove a couple of the worst stains.

•      Arthur and Herbert (Slifer?).  I cannot make out the surname on the back of this photo.  This photo is a square about 3 3/4 inches on each side.

•          Dan Morgan.  This photo measures about 6 1/4 by 4 1/2 inches.  Dan appears to be in the uniform of some kind of military school or academy.  On the back, his vital statistics are written:

  Dan Morgan Jr.
  Age 13 1/2 years
  height 5 feet 8 1/2 inches
  weight - 141 - pounds

•        Mildred Morgan - probably the sister of Dan above.  This photo is about 6 1/4 by 4 1/2 inches.  Her eyes look odd because of the large reflections in them.  Mildred also has her vital statistics written on the back of the photo:

  Mildred Morgan
  Age 3 months    weight 14 lbs

•      Hanson Peterson wedding portrait.  The original is somewhat faded.  I digitally enhanced the contrast a bit.  The photo is a cabinet card and is about 6 1/4 by 4 1/2 inches.  The photographer is listed as "Janousek.  Yankton, S. D."  The writing on the back of the photo reads:  "Mr. + Mrs. Minnie Hanson Peterson"

•    Postcard addressed to Mrs. C. Lind?, Box 988, Georgetown, Texas.  Sent by a woman named Annie (the lady in the photo?) from 49 11th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota and postmarked 6:00 P.M., May 18, 1911.  The message appears to be in German.  If the handwriting weren't so difficult to make out, I might have a go at trying to translate some of it.
