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.

The numbering of these posts had been modified to signify that I am posting items from my archival book two, hence the 2-xx numbering.

Happy Birthday

As you enter the Birthday gate
today
May you find the best of
health and cheer.
The kind that will linger
on and on.
Through many a happy year.

Mother & Laila

I find it interesting the way this card is signed. Andrew Jackson Carter died in 1942, and Emily Lamunion Carter in 1945. Although Laila Carter married in 1918, her husband Warren Burke Plotts is not acknowledged in the signature of the card. It seems as if Laila was maintaining connections with family on behalf of her mother.
