1914 A Merry Christmas Postcard To The Friend Family

Today's pretty vintage Christmas postcard is addressed to Masters Percy and Orville Friend of O'Fallen, Illinois. The date is 1914 and is postmarked Colorado and from Aunt Grace and Uncle Dan and Dee.

A Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. We're going to have a 6 ft Xmas tree in North Park. I love these old postcards but so sad they are separated from their family.

I went to www.ancestry.com and put in the Illinois search engine Percy Friend and found this young man in the 1920 census.
