This postcard is way out of the order of documents I have been posting to the blog, but I happened on it and I thought it was fun to get back to 100 years ago (as opposed to 101 or 102 years ago). The senders are two of Jennie's most beloved nephews. Dixon and Donald had another brother whom I knew as "Uncle Vic" and who was in my mother's wedding. I think Dixon, who actually grew up to be a pastor--ironic in light of the subject of the painting in the post card!--officiated at my parents' wedding. I think their mother had to help them complete the message.
I don't know how large the photos will be. Just in case they aren't reproduced large enough in this blog: The title of the picture is "Their Hopes," and the boy looks toward an image of a swashbuckling pirate while the mother dreams of her son in the pulpit. And the date is April 10th, 1914. (Actually, I was able to go to the blog and click on the photo to get a full-size reproduction. Hope that works for you, too!)
