Journaling reads:

Hi, Daddy! I'm writing from Neodesha, Wilson County, Kansas where I think I've finally tracked down Uncle Charley - at least Cousin Bill Dulin and I think so. I found him on the 1900 census boarding with Aunt Mollie's mother-in-law and Ed's stepfather in Orrick, Ray County, Missouri where I thought he would be. Bill says that once Mollie and Ed moved away from the Indian Territory that we now call Oklahoma, there was no keeping Charley at home. They would send him back and he would run away again, so it looks like they finally just kept him there. Anyway, the 1910 census shows the only Charley that matches ours was here with wife Roxie Ann Lukenbill and a 2-year-old daughter Nellie. Did you know he worked for the railroad like Grandpa Winter?

Further notes for Charley Wood:
Need to find definitely on 1920 and 1930 census returns. Evidence suggests a divorce. Roxie remarried to James Torsney in Iowa in 1938. Marriage records indicates widowed. No death record anywhere for Charley in this time frame. In 1938 she would likely not admit to divorce and there was no way to check so she was safe in Iowa. This is the source for her maiden name and parents' names. Bill believes Charley remarried, too, in Kirksville, Missouri in 1931. Later census records tend to bear this out and he dies there.

The process is the same for this side as for the right except that the background was rotated and journaling was added rather than photos.
