Bonham Fire


Photograp was sent to Jonas E. Dupree from E.D. Dupree in 1908.
It reads "This is a fire - postal can you find me.
Bonham Fire. 1114 N. Maple Street P.O.B. 297 E.D".


From Fannin Co. CC - I cannot tell where this was, the address above is obviously E.D's resident address. However looking at the 1910 city directory, I can only find that two years after the fire, W. Sparkman was a blacksmith at Colman & Kennedy which was on South Main, There is in the same block for a blacksmith by the name Marcom. The Poultry comp. is not listed anymore by 1910.  I suspect it is the 200 block of South Main and that E.D. worked in that block or nearby as he is in the picture somewhere from his statement. I find it interesting that the post office did not deliver on N. Maple street, he has a post office box or because he is listed by himself without a wife he might live in a boarding house. I checked and there are no listings for any boarding houses in the book listed at all.
