    This photo came from my Great Aunt Alma Rambo Thompson. It was copied by Verla and George Nickle and then passed to my brother Ron Beatty. Verla did not include it in her "Rambo Book". In the vertical files in the genealogical library at Keosauqua Public Library, Iowa there are research papers by Susan Benning (dated 1979) which Suggest her name was Anna Dora (no maiden name) and she was born in Holstein, Germany. cabryant2@gmail.com
