That could be Makanda. It was a little railroad town then.

He married a Dell? about 1902. Dell had a relative or good friend that wrote to her named Stella. Postcard is postmarked Makanda, July 14, 1915. On it, it says Avon, or Aron, 7 months old. It is a picture of a baby on the lap of a boy of about 11 yrs. old. Arthur William Henson belonged to the Christian Church at Makanda according to his obituary. I have more pictures of unknown people. In a few there is a white picket fence either in front of a main road or railroad track. Could this be Makanda? Arthur worked on the railroads, so he moved around a lot. In 1910 Arthur and Dell were in Chaffee, Missouri. Dell was 29 years old and they had been married 8 years. As far as I know, they had no children. Dell received a bible from a church in Chaffee for helping with Sunday school. Arthur William Henson showed he was born in Kentucky in all of his records after 1902. In reality he was born in Ohio, Feb. 17, 1875. His r! > eal name was Albert Evans. He got in trouble with the law in 1897 and fled. He died Arthur William Henson, March 20, 1954 in Randolph county Illinois. He married Florence Brown in 1917, so I don't know if he and Dell divorced, or if she died. He told my father that she had died. Could someone please give me some help on this one. I'd like to know who Dell is and identify some of the people in the pictures.
