Vernon house, with D. A. Vernon and horse

Address: Not Known
Date: 1895-1900
Appleton's index entry is hard to decipher, but this man is definitely not D. A. Vernon, who died in 1888; this is probably D. A. Vernon's horse. Same residence and same day as in AP-5133 and AP-5230. Possibly in Upper Providence.
