Who's Who

• "Wm Brunken" is William Leonard Brunken, my grandfather.
• "girl on the porch" is likely Hilda Ida Brunken, my mother.

Story

Whoever sent this card to my grandfather expected him to be able to recognize the house and the girl with a doll on the porch [1].

Hilda Ida Brunken

The handwriting on this postcard is very similar to that of the handwriting on the postcard of the "Evangelical Lutheran Church Sanctuary - Lost Creek Township" post.  The message handwriting is almost the same and the script of the address is identical.  Is this a card that my grandmother wrote while visiting relatives in Nebraska? If so, the girl probably is grandfather's daughter, Hilda Ida Brunken, whom grandfather would definitely have recognized[1].

Location

Nebraska.

Date

The picture was taken just before Christmas as stated in the postcard. However, there is no postmark nor date given on the postcard.  If this is the same visit as in the "Evangelical Lutheran Church Sanctuary - Lost Creek Township" posting, December 1911 is the date the picture was taken.

Notes  

1. The face of the girl on the porch does look like pictures that I have of of my mother, Hilda Ida Brunken, as a child.
