John A Hansbrough dies of lagripp at age 69
- Continued in next row -
Hansbrough moved around a lot. The records here outline where he was
operating in many cases. There are probably a lot more. One item
mentions he is operating from a Photo Car.
The card here does not even show an address or even a city. He
probably did this so the same card blanks could be used
anywhere.
