Chester Creek Duluth Minnesota 1908 to Mary Ronellenfitch of Buckman Minneosta

Here is another vintage postcard of Duluth Minnesota. This one is of Chester Creek on Boulevard. In the back ground pictured is a gentleman standing over looking the creek. Today this area is all built up with houses and does not look this peaceful.

Post card is dated June 2nd 1908 Anoka Minnesota and addressed to Miss M Ronellenfitch of Buckman Minnesota.

Dear Mary, how are you. Did Clara get her letter with the hankchief. What are you doing these days. I spose you are going to the wedding today. Did you hear from Jamie lately and did you get the letter I sent last Sunday. This is on of my Duluth cards. Hope to hear from you soon.

I love used vintage post cards with a message. They are a peek into someone's history.

I love http://www.ancestry.com/. I found Mary in the 1895 Minnesota census. The writing is so pale hard to make out much. I do find that parents are from Germany and that Mary was born in Minnesota. At this time Mary is 3 years old and there are 12 children. Almost one a year.

We find both her father and mother's names and who is living in the house at this time. Many of the children have moved on.

Once again it is so sad that this post card is separated from family members. I hope that a family member will find this card some day among my offerings on eBay. I will be putting it up for sale in the future.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you enjoy a little family history behind my vintage post cards.
