Trivia
This is an old postcard of the Methodist church in my home town. My husband I were married there, as were many others in Tioga Center, Tioga Co., New York. The eBay auction from which I purchased this card said it dated from 1910, but I can find no date printed on it. So I'll just say it's old. Oh, and the church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, too.
