DESCRIPTION
Three early photographs of one Nebraska family\'s graves, with every name legible — the kind of fully identified material genealogy buyers hunt for. The centerpiece is a tree-stump gravestone carved GENEVIEVE HAMBLIN, WIFE OF C. L. AGNEW, MAY 19, 1884 – JULY 14, 1913, and below her, HELEN JEAN, INF. DAU., MAY 5, 1911 – MAY 6, 1911. Research identifies her as Lydia Genevieve Hamblin Agnew of Tekamah, Nebraska, who died at a Methodist hospital in Omaha at age 29; her husband, Charles Leon Agnew, later married her younger sister Helen. The graves are documented at Tekamah Cemetery, Tekamah, Burt County, Nebraska, and the family is documented on Find a Grave (Genevieve, memorial 281261650). Helen Jean died in Cheyenne, Wyoming, at one day old, and burial records place her in Cheyenne — her name and dates are carved here on her mother\'s stone. Beside the stump stone stands a tall monument lettered GIBSON, believed to be the Gibson family plot in the same cemetery — Genevieve\'s aunt, Allie Hamblin Gibson, is documented buried there. Both postcard backs carry the printed imprint of Liberty Studio, 164 So. State St., Salt Lake City, Utah.

CONDITION
Very Good overall. The Gibson/Agnew postcard\'s front is strong, but its back carries heavy black album-paper residue patches, left as found from album removal — please do not attempt to remove them. The flowered grave-mound postcard is near Excellent, with only slight edge wear. The thin gelatin-silver photograph shows overall toning/fading and a light curl. All three pieces are unmailed and unwritten. Please examine closely for exact condition.
