Handwritten on the clipping is the date September 30, 1957. It was likely published in a local newspaper in Charles City, Iowa.

The photo was also in same scrapbook, annotated in handwriting “John & Annie Hartz” and was probably taken for their wedding on March 12, 1902 in St. Charles Township, Floyd County, Iowa.
