Hazel 'Elsie' Daum, Illinois
Hazel 'Elsie' Daum, Elgin Illinois circa 1900: I've just become very curious about an old black and white postcard-photo I purchased at a second hand shop. It's of a very striking woman in a long white dress. She seems to be holding a diploma. The photographer mark says:
"West Photo-Coliseum Bldg-Elgin, ILL"
On the back is handwritten: 'Hazel Daum' and 'Elsie'.
I'd date it somewhere between 1880 and 1910... based on the fashion.
Anyone with any info?
