In Front of 208 E Lincoln Highway, Cheyenne, Wyoming.



These two photos, above and below, were labeled "Aunt Del". I believe the two women on the left in the photo above are Delphia Baugh Anderson and her daughter, Pauline. As I don't recognize the other people in the pictures, I wondered if they might be Delphia's in-laws. Pete Anderson's family lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1940. I found on Ebay a postcard featuring the Mission Motor Court pictured across the street in the photo below. It was dated 1942 and gave the address as 222 E Lincoln Highway in Cheyenne. The house number on the building behind the groups is 208, and advertises "rooms" below the house number. The 1930 census records show that at this address there are two single men boarding there, "C W Anderson" and "W J Anderson"

This last photo is labeled "D Anderson, sister to N V E" signifying "Delphia Anderson, sister to Nora, Velma (or Vesta), and Elsie". As Delphia died in her 40's, I believe this is mislabeled.
