The Other Postcard

Here is the other postcard that I bought on e-bay,

which unknown to me until I received it,

had been sent to my great aunt Amanda Dahlager.

"Greetings From Dalton, Minn."

It is very hard to read the back of the postcard.

I darkened it and tried to read it by enlarging it,

but  it just wasn't very read-able.  

Here is what I can make of it:

Addressed to:  Miss Manda Dahlager

RFD, Dalton

"Say, can't you and Nobel come over tonight and 

have some fun.  Be sure and come.

I suppose Ella...(can't read any more)...."

From friend,

Clara Clausen.

[Nobel was Amanda's brother, and

Ella was her sister.]

Can you Believe it??

A couple of years ago, I was looking for some memento from Dalton

from years past.    I browsed on e-bay and there were 2 old postcards

for sale from Dalton, Minnesota.

This is one of the postcards I received - I thought it was kind of cute -

and then I turned it over. . . .

The postcard, postmarked from Dalton in 1915

was addressed to my Great- Aunt, Amanda Dahlager!

Isn't that almost "weird"???

It was sent to her while she was in Parkers Prairie,

teaching school at the time.

It was sent by her sister, but I can't make out 

the signature to know for sure which sister sent it,

But the note says:

"Hello Sis Amanda

Don't let this shock you

Clara just phoned over and said I should

sent you a card and let you know that she is

coming to see you next Thursday, Sept. 30

Palma is to take this card this morning so you get it in time."

By the way, the other postcard I purchased was

also addressed to Amanda Dahlager.

Funny the things that come your way!
