Read about this series of posts, regarding items in a box originally owned by Belle (Lamunion) Fellows Tinker here. The cast of characters is located here. And, there is an accounting of people about whom I have little information here.

This Christmas Card is the shape and size of a postcard, but does not have the customary postcard graphics (stamp here, address here) on the back. It must have been hand delivered, or in an envelope. Without the city it came from, was sent to, and the year, it isn’t as interesting as some of the other cards.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.

Mr & Mrs A.C. Bailey

I did a few quick searches for “A. C. Bailey” at Ancestry.com. The best match was a stone mason who lived in Sanilac County in 1880. There were a lot of Bailey families in Newaygo and Wexford Counties after the turn of the century, but none with calling anyone A.C. or AC. I’m going to think of the Baileys as acquaintances who sent a Christmas card.
