    3. I checked the 1910 census and there appears to be only 3 families with boy Arthur and younger sister Ruth. Minneaapolis, MN, parents Arthur & Anna, son Arthur is 9, daughter Ruth is 2 - there are 5 other children Patton Twp, PA, parents Henry & Anna, son Arthur is 9, daughter Ruth is 2 - there are 6 other children Cooter, MO, parents Charles & Catherine, son Arthur is 5, daughter Ruth is 1 - there is 1 other child >>> Best thing is if someone on here has Ancesty and can search the 1900 and 1910 census for Ruth and Arthur Wilson. That would be a start.

The first is one of Ruth WILSON age 3 months and 17 days and Arthur WILSON age 5 years, 3 months, and 18 days. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's and indicates that it was a gift to "Grandma". The photo post card the photograph is printed on was produced by the Post Card Shop in Minneapolis, MN or at the Penny Arcade in Duluth, MN. The second photograph is one of Ruth & Arthur with Ruth likely about 3 years old at the time and Arthur appearing to be about 8 years, most likely in the early 1900's. This second photograph postcard was produced by the Novelty Post Card Shop in Superior WI. The third card is of Ruth WILSON by herself, also in the early 1900's, with Ruth appearing to be about 6 years old at the time it was taken. There is no location identified on this postcard, though I know that these postcards where printed and distributed widely so the production location may not be the place or even the state where the family was living at the time the photographs were taken. In this case I think the fact that the children's birth "days" were exactly 5 years and 1 day apart is probably the best clue as to who they might be. I'd love to figure that out and return the photographs to their family. If you are a member of this WILSON Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
