In 1910 the family was living in Perry, IA with census records providing the following details:

Glen E. PACKARD, son, age 21, born OH, a Private Family Chauffer
Fred C. PACKARD, son, age 19, born IL, a Railroad Worker

This old studio photograph of identified as Mary PACKARD, Glen, and the Railroad Man along with one unidentified man which was taken at the Berkemann Studio in Perry, IA. The photograph appears to be a family photograph taken in the early 1900's with Mary and the oldest man likely in their 40's or 50's and the two younger men in their 20's at the time the photograph was taken. I've been able to determine that this is a photograph of Mary TICKNER PACKARD, her sons Glen PACKARD and Fred PACKARD, and her husband Edward N. PACKARD who was a Railroad Engineer.
