Anna Nelson was born in November 1891 in Illinois, probably in Menard County. Her name was listed as Josephine in the census of Menard County in 1900. She married Ernest Wybert, probably in Alberta, Canada, after her family moved there in about 1907. The family probably settled near Warburg before at least some of them moved to the nearby town of Wetaskiwin. She had one child, her daughter Dora.

The caption on the back is: "Dear Uncle. Im now sending you a "photo" card of myself and the colt. It is not a very good picture of myself but it is fine of the colt. We had a family photo taken too of the old man and mama and Shep the dog and myself but it was not good either. Must close as space is short. Mamma is also writing. How are the kids. from Anna write soon."
