Mabel Hall and "Charlie" (From Buckles)

My dad wrote on the back of this card:
"Mabel Hall and "Charlie" with Thos. Hargreaves Shows early 1900's.
The daughter of Geo. (Popcorn) Hall and the wife of Wm. Campbell."

CHARLIE
1903-07 Hargreaves Show
1908-12 Geo. W. Hall Family
(Died in 1912 at Evansville, Wis. quarters)

Wish I had more info on this elephant. I have heard that he came from the Ringling Show but I can't imagine those Dutchmen parting with a specimen like this.
