Dear Children


Had quite a rain this morning girls are washing.  Will look for you folks Thurs.  Well Mildred says she is going home with Vera from the fair so Grandma can't say no.  She says she wants to play with the pups.  Will you bring that dish that you cook or bake in.  We will bake macroni [sic].


---
This postcard, sent to my paternal great-aunt Vera (HALEY) STUBER, was written by her mother, Cora Belle (METZNER) HALEY.  Why an Easter card was postmarked in August, I have no idea.


The fair mentioned would be the Jay County fair.  Mildred would be Mildred MILLER, daughter of Galen and Mary (HALEY) MILLER, Vera's sister.  


An interesting view into the lives of my ancestors in 1923.

The Leonhard's

If you can't go to Ind. Xmas, come over here we are cooking for the folks.

A Happy Christmas

This postcard, postmarked Belmore, Ohio, December 22, 1929, was part of the collection of my paternal great-uncle and aunt, Clarence and Vera (Haley) Stuber.


Which George Metzner family is this from? Vera's great-uncle and aunt, George W. and Elizabeth Metzner, lived in the Belmore area, but he died in 1875.  Belmore is in Putnam County, Ohio.  Another mystery to sort out.
