Story

Who is writing this and calling these ladies "two monkeys"?

Date

About 1909. While the postmark gives April 8, no year is legible. Since the card is addressed to Platte Center, Nebraska, the postcard was sent before my grandparents moved to Oklahoma in 1910 - probably 1908-1910 given the apparent ages of the two sisters.

Location

Platte Center,  Nebraska.

Notes

  1. Thanks to Betty Meyn for identifying the two women pictured on the postcard as being her grandmother, Louise Wilhemmia Brunken, and grandaunt, Anna M. Brunken.
