 Item — Large-Drawers: tbd

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Hanners Collection consists of 206 photographic postcards prints, 11 4”x5” photographic negatives, two commercial postcards, and seven large crayon portraits. The bulk of the material consists of family snapshots dating from 1905-1936 depicting cattle ranching, wheat and alfalfa farming, landscapes, and domestic activities mostly in Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Maine. It also includes group and individual portraits.

Many of the picture postcards include addressees, short letters, and captions. These materials can be primarily attributed to the family of Cora M. Wince. Cora Wince was known to be a fellow resident and acquaintance of the Goodson family when they lived in Kenton, Oklahoma. The Wince family had relations in North Dakota and connections in Maine and Iowa which are represented in the collection.

Notated locations include: Kenton, Boise City, Willow Bar, and Black Mesa, Oklahoma; Pierre, Red Elm, Dupree, Mitchell, and Rattlesnake Butte, South Dakota; Bar Mills, Sabbathday Lake, Westbrook, Gorham, Prout’s Neck, Old Orchard, and Pine Point, Maine; and Elkhart and Scott County Kansas.
