My husband who identifies photos by the age of the cars says this one is about 1906, can't tell for sure if he can't see the front, but it is not a model T.

Uriah Eichler

The listing of the marriage of Jacob Eicher and Fanny Hartzler on the Sherman County, Kansas Trails, and then the 1900 Census of Smoky Township has started an unlocking of the mystery of my Grandmother Nellie McPherson's photo collection. Jacob and Fanny are on Lines 90 & 91 of the Census, and their oldest son Uriah Eichler is next.

Frank and Addie (Vale) Fox. Line 62 & 63 on the 1900 US Census page, which notes that they have been married for 8 years. Photo taken by D. G. Clark, Goodland, Kans. Addie was my greatgrandmother Lillie Laughlin's sister. La Vella Tomlinson
