I was looking at my mom's old scrapbook...Lots of interesting things in there, from cards, to photos, and ribbons and napkins from weddings, there are news clippings, letters, programs from concerts; there are invitations, school memories, and even remnants of rose petals from a corsage from 1930.
This was labeled, "My first valentine from Aunt Clara." If Mom received this when she was 4 or 5 years old, that would make this valentine about 98 years old!
This is one of the many wedding cards to my Mom & Dad. This was one of the "fancier" ones, because. . .
often-times in those days, people just found a piece of paper and wrote on it. Mom & Dad were married in 1930 - I am guessing a lot of people didn't have money for fancy cards, or maybe a lot of people just didn't feel the need to buy a card!
Also included in the scrapbook was this Sunday School paper from 1939. How many of you remember getting those special papers to take home with you at Sunday School? They don't do that anymore, but when I was little (not in the 30's, however!) we still got the papers and thought that was pretty great!

Oscar Lien--do you suppose that would be a relative of Dennis'?
Great post, Laurie!
I don't know that Dennis was related to the Lien's, Oscar Lien lived in Dalton all his life and was the banker. His wife was Mildred.
