Postcards scanned and presented by granddaughter, Beverly Whitaker. |

Louis’ album was about half the size of Edna’s. The albums had complementary covers--hers was labeled POSTCARDS. His was titled ALBUM. Neither album was chronological. Some pages had an obvious theme. Romance was a popular postcard theme and showed up in both albums. |

The card above held a surprise under it. Two photos dropped out, one of Louis and one of Edna, both on thin paper, royal blue ink on white paper. My guess is that these were made at a county fair during their courtship. |

The card on the right was mailed to Edna with a message forecasting her future with Louis: “This Picture is a true prophecy of the near future. So life like and real. Isn’t the resemblance striking.” |
