The cover of Mr. Carey's passport, which appears to be the earliest item in the material loaned by Mr. Bogle.

Inside front cover of Mr. Carey's passport.  He lists his address as the 1st National Bank Building in Wichita, which is now Intrust bank.  The building is still home to the firm, now known as Young-Bogle-McCausland-Wells.  The foreign address listed reveals plans for a trip to Paris, France.  On the right, a visa stamped in Cherbourg, France, dated June 10 or 19, 1925.

This is the main portion of the passport, which folds out from the right hand side of the booklet.  Note that this passport also covers his wife, Elizabeth.  It is dated May, 1925.  Mr. Carey is in the prime of life--51 years old, standing 5' 11" tall.

The next page reveals a photograph of Mrs. Elizabeth Carey.  She had married Joseph Carey in 1919.  She was about 26, he was 45.

The picture is clipped unevenly by scissors and is affixed by glue.  It has been given a raised seal, but that cannot hide the fact that Elizabeth Carey was quite a beautiful young woman.  Born in 1893, she would be approximately 32 years old at this time.

The next page of the passport shows visa stamps for arrival in the United Kingdom.  Arrival appears to be July 3, 1925, in Dover.

In the upper left is the Cherbourg visa which displays as you open the passport.  Lower right we see several stamps.  It appears the couple left New York for France on June 11, 1925.  The Calais stamp could be either July 5 or 15th.

This picture is dated November 13, 1938.  Obviously, Joseph Carey is on the right.  But, I am not sure that this is Elizabeth Carey with him.  Her face has some of the features we see in the other photos, but enough differences that I wonder.  Could she have been ill?  Or is this a friend or relative?

The Carey's relaxing in the backyard of their farm in 1942.  By now, Mr. Carey was 68, while Mrs. Carey was about 49 years old.

Back of the previous photograph.  No doubt that this is Mrs. Carey's handwriting.

Undated photograph which shows Mr. Carey on the right.  The woman may well be Mrs. Carey--her fondness for dogs being noted in the previous picture. But once again, perhaps passing through an illness, or is that actually someone else?

Undated photograph of Mr. Carey toward the end of his life.  The hair has gone white and he looks much older.  Mr. Carey died in the fall of 1948, at the age of 74.

Mr. Carey had been a member of the Board of Directors of the First National Bank for a number of years (his brother having been a founder of the bank).  Upon his passing, the Board recorded its formal condolences to Mrs. Carey.  This article was carefully preserved in a leather holder.
