Denver Colorado Going To St. Mark's Church Early 1900's

Being that it is Sunday I thought I would post a vintage post card of a church. As I went through my many cards I did not see many churches. I must of sold most of them. I think vintage postcards are a great addition to a genealogy project. I love finding post cards from the city and time period my family lived in an area.
Today's post card is of St.Mark's Church, Denver Colorado. This post card is from the early 1900's and is unused. It was made in Germany and has the NO.3015 on lower corner. Pictured is this large beautiful church. Going towards the church is a couple with her arm in his. The scene is so quiet and peaceful.

One of my great grandparents married in Denver, Colorado in 1891, which would of been about 20 or so years before this post card was made. I date this post card to around 1910 because of the divided back and the word post card printed at top.



Have a wonderful Sunday and thanks for stopping by.. Grace

Pretty Vintage 1900's Postcard With Darling Children Holding Pink Roses Swedish?

What a pretty vintage post card. I wish I could translate but so far no luck. Searched at http://www.google.com/ and found Gratulation is greeting but no luck on the other word. Oh well so pretty and these children are darling in their outfits and holding pretty pink roses.

There is no post mark and is addressed to the Dahl family of Bark River Michigan. From the early 1900's

Hope you enjoyed seeing it and will stop by again .. Grace

Love Expressed In A Vintage Postcard 1909

The year is 1909 and this is a beautiful post card from that time. That is 101 years ago. My grandparents would of been about about 16 or 17 years old and probably catching the eye of the opposite sex.

This was posted march 29th 1909 in Minnesota and mailed to Miss Martha Kautz. Hard to read what he is writing but something about going to a dance and not taking his girl along with him and she went back on me. He guesses Martha will have to be his girl till he finds another one.

Fun to see these post cards and put them into contact with our ancestors. Will probably put this in a family page with my grandparents with a comment that this was popular at that time frame.

Come back and see the next one I share..

Thanks for stopping by.. Grace
