There is a Jacobs family residing in Antioch Township which is listed on the 1920 and 1930 census. There is one child, with the first initial of C, Clarence, age 14 on the 1930 census.

Belle lived in the area until her death in August, 1948, so it is possible that this card was from Clarence and his wife. Or not.
