You can read about Belle Lamunion, 1864-1848, and her amazing box of family memories here. Belle married Henry H Fellows, 1858-1905 in 1879 in Ashland Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. The cast of characters is located here. There is an accounting of people about whom I have little information here.
When I took Belle’s Box to a reunion, several people took cards that were connected to their direct ancestors, and I am glad. I did take photos of as many of them as I could before they disappeared. This group of posts are those that I was able to photograph. There were duplicate photos so when I renumbered the photos to titles I could use, I deleted the dupes. Missing numbers do not mean missing items!
Postmark is illegible, except for the city: Manton.
Addressed to: Mrs Belle Fellows, Manton Mich.

Belle Lamunion Fellows married Charlie Tinker on 15 July 1914, so this card was sent before her second marriage. Elgie Stewart, 1881-1939 was a resident of Antioch Township, Wexford County. His message is referring to his wive3, Bessie Ann Lamunion Stewart, 1885-1965. Bessie was a daughter of Merritt Winfield “Scott” Lamunion and Emma Adelia Widger. Scott was Belle’s sister, so Bessie was a niece. I sure wish I could read the postmark on this, perhaps that would have revealed why the trip to the hospital.
