1908 photo of Brandt B. Berlin
I purchased the subject RPPC (Real Photo Postcard) postmarked in Kansas City, MO on 24 Jul 1908. Sent by Anna Berlin, 3917 E. 19th St., Kansas City, MO, to Oscar Helm, 661 6th St., Oakland, CA, the message reads in part:
"Thought I would send you one of Brandt's pictures, ... With love Aunt Anna"
The photo depicts an infant sitting on a pony, held in place by a woman whose head in obscrured by the animal's body.
I found the family listed in the 1910 U.S. Census data for Kansas City, Jackson Co., MO; the 1925 Kansas State Census data for Delaware, Leavenworth Co., KS; and the 1930 U.S. Census data for Delaware, Leavenworth, KS.Brandt, born about 1908 in MO, was the son of a tailor, John T. Brandt, born about 1860 in PA, and Anna M. (maiden name unknown), born about 1869 in KS.Brandt became a farmer when he grew up.
