From the steamer trunk.

These adorable kids are identified on the back of this unused postcard:
I believe I've found them in the 1920 Census — which is probably about the time this photo was taken — living in Griffith, Indiana. Their mother had been Ida Rossow, which I suppose explains why their picture ended up in Minnie Rossow Harms' steamer trunk, though I don't understand exactly how Ida and Minnie were related. Ida married Charles Hendrix in 1909 (Indiana Marriage Collection) and by 1920 their children, Jackson, Charles R. [Roy? or Ray?] and Rosemary, were 8, 6 and 5 years old respectively.
We've already seen a photo of their mother in her younger days; she is fourth from the right in the back row here.
