Hobart Then and Now: Shearer House on Lincoln

The steamer trunk included this photo postcard of the home of James and Hulda Shearer, at the corner of 8th and Lincoln.

There is nothing on the back of the postcard except the identification:



The little girl between Hulda and Jim is their daughter, Clara. She was born in 1910. Here she looks to be about six years old, which would date the photo to circa 1916.

From the same source we have a photo of Clara and Hulda, about three years earlier.





The 1940 Census shows Clara, married, living with her parents. Her surname was Stolp; I think her husband's first name was Willard and she married him circa 1929 (if I've found the right people in the 1930 Census).
