Post Cards

This week I've been reading a collection of post cards from the 1902-1920 era that were written to a great aunt. Not only is the picture side of interest, but the messages on the back are of genealogical importance. For example, it was reported in the local paper that my great grandfather was the director of the Wisconsin forestry exhibit at the 1903 World Fair in St. Louis. One of the post cards is called "World's Fair City Views" with an oval photo of the Entrance to Kingsbury Pl., St. Louis and is signed "your father." We will scan those of major interest before returning them to my cousin.
