Here's a discussion thread for posting photos, including ads for shows. :)
I'll start by adding a photo of Clara, William's first 'wife', mother of John Henry, grandmother to James Ivan. She took James Ivan in between 1910 and 1920, his mother, Louise Tietjen Lavelle(still can't prove a marriage to John Henry) died in 1912 of Chronic TB, his aunt, Martha Clara Tietjen Cox died in 1913, so I'm guessing he was given to his grandmother to raise, though his uncle by marriage James Cox played an important role in the lives of James Ivan and Richard.

James Ivan was on the 1910 census with the Cox family(assuming his mother was in a TB ward, but her residence at death was the Cox's apartment), and living with Clara/Carry in 1920 and 1930. We can't find her in 1910, but in 1920 and 1930, she is raising Jim with no visible source of income in Manhattan, so we assume James Cox helped raise him monetarily.

The second photo is according to what is written in the scrapbook is Louise with James Ivan, so its about 1910-1911.
