Thank You Herb Blankenship for sharing ,this wonderful picture



I found the attached postcard in my Mother’s (Jessie Grimmett) personal belongings after she died. My mother was married to Walter Clinton Blankenship who was the son of Octavia Blankenship. Octavia was the Daughter of Solomon and Eliza (Vance) Blankenship.


Octavia Blankenship b. 1892 d. 11/14/1958 Logan, WV

Walter Clinton Blankenship b.9/23/1918 Davy, WV d. 10/9/1991 Lynchburg Va.

On the front top margin it says; “ I will write more next time tell

On the front bottom margin it continues; Mary I will write to her soon”

Written on the back is; “Hello Mary how are you all by now. This leavs all well. Hope you all the same. Martha is getting along fine. She is sitting up in bed. The children said they wished you and Willie wood stay with them. Ardie said you was with Mary and she wood go and let you go. Harley said tell Willie he hadent had nary nother hug at all.

Bye Bye
From Linda


The card is very hard to read but I think this is very close to what it says)
