Burk and Laila

The spelling of Laila’s name is corrected on the printed card. I guess it was to late to return them and have them re-printed when the mistake was discovered. Laila Carter, the daughter of Andrew and Emily (Lamunion) Carter, was Belle’s niece.

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.

The most interesting thing about this Christmas card, is the misspelling of Laila Carter Plotts’s first name. Later in the collection there is at least one more identical card from Burke and Laila Plotts. Laila was Belle’s niece, the daughter of Emily “Em” Lamunion and her husband Andrew Jackson Carter.
