This picture was taken outside their house in Humboldt Nebraska circa 1920. It was given me by my grand aunt Ruth Mann Heinz, and I remain in possession of the original photograph.

This is an interesting photograph. These stones are hard to get. The lettering is the same color as the stone surrounding it. Therefore, you have to spray the whole stone with shaving cream, then scrape off the excess & shoot it. The shaving cream doesn't harm the stone in any way, wears off quickly, & provides you with a clear photograph. The trick is to wipe away the excess shaving cream so that it doesn't cloud up the rest of the stone. Look closely & you can see there's still soem shaving cream left on the stone.

This is a scanned image of a photograph I took of the Robert Mitchell Mann house in Humboldt, circa 1997.
