Sincere

Wishes

To: Aunt Belle

From: Your Niece Ina

A glad new year
I wish for you
Not only happy
while ’tis “new”
But daily may
some joy unfold,
Brighter and better,
when ’tis old!

Etoile Burdick Howe was a daughter of Fink Burdick, Susie M. Burdick’s brother. Two of Susie’s children married Belle’s children; Susie’s son Ross P. Fenton married Edna Fellows, and Susie’s daughter Lila M. Longstreet married Frank A. Fellows. Etoile and Charles Howe didn’t have any direct relationship to Belle, but the families lived in the same area, and were well known to each other.

Well, I have searched our family tree backwards and forwards and I don’t have any Kathleen, Kathy or other derivative which would fit this announcement. She was a small baby, or the scales were in need of calibration.

Since most of the children in rural Northern Lower Michigan who were born before 1930 or so were born at home, I suspect this baby arrived later. I wonder if private homes just wouldn’t have had a scale to weigh a baby.
