Miss Jennie Swagerty
taken in Ripley Okla

Age 16
to my Sweetheart-"
Jennie Swagerty was born in Missouri in 1894 to parents John and Etta Swagerty. She worked on the family farm in Cimarron, Oklahoma until 1911, when she married Ray Buxton (probably the "sweetheart" mentioned on the card). The marriage certificate gives Jennie's age as 18, which means the age written on the back of the card may be incorrect. She died in 1922, at only 28 years old.
