Description: This is an early 1900s era birthday postcard, unposted, with correspondence. Most of my postcards from the Evanston, Illinois estate (see below) are addressed to Marie Carter. Marie’s birthday was in April, though, so this want for her. It’s from Harold Burton. I found the postcard at the Evanston, Illinois estate of Robert Russell Jones, originally of Topeka Kansas, Jones had a successful career in journalism, culminating in him being anppointed editor of Industrial Research magazine. His work at Industrial Research is what brought him and his family to Chicago. His wife was the author Dorothy V. Jones. There is an interesting family history here. Robert Russell Jones’ mother, Marie Carter Jones (not the recipient of the postcard) was the great great granddaughter of the Potawatomi missionary Robert Simerwell. Her great grandmother was Elizabeth Simerwell Carter, the first non-indigenous female born in Kansas. The card is in good vintage condition, note that there is some discoloration, corner wear, edge wear, and soiling. So despite some mystery regarding who the card was intended for, it’s still a nice item. Look at all of my postcards! I am happy to combine shipping. Just ask either before or after your purchase. It all works,
