 We have pictures in our possession, not yet scanned, of Charlotte George "on camping trip out of Tuscon 1915".
-: A series of photographs (one of which is attached here) which appear to be labeled "Kelton Ariz" and dated to 1915 show Leona, Charlotte, the Levys, and various others, on and around a swing in a yard near a rail line. Respondents from the Cochise County listserv provide a picture and map of Kelton, which show it to be nothing more than a rail stop, not a mile north to south. This is presumably the "whistle stop railroad crossroads" Charlotte Quinlan remembers being mentioned.

 The train in the background in the photographs is labeled "El Paso and Southwest". That line ran towards Douglas. This permits us to determine the orientation of the pictures, and from there guess our place on the map, between the Joint Station and the Agent<nowiki>’</nowiki>s Dwelling. I believe the Joint Station visible in one respondent<nowiki>’</nowiki>s picture is also visible in one of ours.

-When helping me compile my earliest notes, Charlotte gave her grandmother<nowiki>’</nowiki>s name as "Charlotte Rogers George," but fifteen or more years later, no longer had any recollection of the Rogers name, or what it signified. Its existence receives some support from the family silverware, some pieces of which are engraved "CRGN", which I take to be for Charlotte Rogers George Neer, which would provide a fairly narrow date range for the engravings.

 Kelton was situated in Sulphur Springs Valley, which heads north-northwest from Douglas. It was halfway to Cochise, near Gleeson. Another respondent from the Cochise listserv notes that when one of the lines stopped running, the buildings were sold and moved around Sulphur Springs. If my reading of online material from the 1933 Railway Age is correct, authorization of the abandonment of the branch line from Douglas to Cochise took place before that year.
 : Charlotte married '''[[Floyd Manning]]''' in El Paso, Texas, on September 2, 1915.  Pictures from that same year show her camping in Tucson.
