NEFF BABY
The photo of the baby above was on a postcard. I recently found the identity of this baby on the 1913 postcard. He was Abner "A.B." Sexton, grandson of C.W. Neff and his first wife Amanda Lackey. The baby's mother was May Neff Sexton from Pulaski County, Illinois. He is on Find A Grave, where it shows he died in 1920.
The back of the postcard (pictured below), transcribed is addressed to Mr. C.W. Neff, Oliver, Ark. It is dated April 21, 1913. It says, as near as I can determine "Dear Father, This is the Little Darling. (S?)he is 10 m(o?)s. old and 22 lbs. Why don't you write to me. I ? varry anxous to hear from you all. we are left yet out of the high water. all is well. hope you are. how are Squire( ?)and lu me__?__ you. Yours lovingly devoted ? " I would like to know more of what the card said. It was pasted down to something at one time, so much of what is written is faded and obscured.
