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.

Sunday - Dec. 15

Dear family,

I just got some news to day and I want to tell you, so you can get it in your book, before I forget. I wrote a letter and sent a Christmas card to Aunt Vesta and Rusty. He got it yesterday (Sat.)

This morning he called to tell us Aunt Vesta passed away July 31, 1985. She died in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Her last name was Swank. She was Grandpa John Baugh's sister. She was 83 years old. She was married first to a man named Sample. I'm sure you have a page for her. We were sure unhappy. We liked her so much. He told us he had asked someone to call all of us in Wash[ington], but guess they never. No one here knew about her death. He talked to Daddy about 30-40 minutes.

Here is a paper about Bonnie Dunbar. Thought you would like to read. Wish it would warm up. I'm so tired of cold.

Take care.

Love you all

Mom

upon the death of Selby

Apri 3, 1972

Dear Bros and Mary sorry I haven't wrote sooner, I had company last wk. and was kindly tired when we got back from Lincoln. I went with Elsie and Dewey. Virginia and Bob put Selba away awful nice and he looked so natural. the cemetery was 11 miles from town. he had a lot of nice flowers. After the funeral we went to Bob and Agnes for dinner at Beatrice (Nebr.) that was 60 mi from Lincoln. we left there at 3:15 and got back to Wray (Colo.) a little after 9. Elsie and Dewey staid all nite with me and went home Sun. Vesta and Rusty didn't go, they were sick. it is cold and windy this morn. got a little rain last eve. I have the work done. Should go to the Dr and see about my Blood Pressure it is so hard [to] have to depend on someone to take me.

hope both of you are well. Evelyn had the flu last wk end but Better now and working. All the rest are well. if the weather doesn't clear up and get warm. don't think I will Put out any garden. And have to take care of the yard. it looks teribele (sic) lot of the grass has died suppose every thing there is nice and green.

Well there isn't much news. havn't seen Frank for a long time and Cleo is about the same. Drussel sure has a tough time. I feel sorry for her.

As ever love and Best wishes sis Velma

bloggers note: who are the last two people mentioned in the letter, and who is the letter addressed to?

Update: I found the family of Frank and "Dora" in the 1920 Census taken at Cheyenne county, Kansas. Their children include a daughter named Drussel. I believe the "Dora" in the census is Velma's sister, "Nora" and Drussel would refer to Velma's niece. Cleo is Cleo Brough, Drussel's husband.
