Elmer Anderson
Figure 1.--This portrait shows a boy who ran away from home. The portrait is undated. It was taken by Burns in Portland, Oregon. An enscription on the back reads, "Lily Anderson's Son, Elmer. Mrs. Anderson was Uncle J?und's sister. Elmer ran away from home and was never heard of." Makes you wonder what happened to this boy before and after running away. The style of the cabient card suggests the portrait was taken about 1905.
