Help us find a home for this post card!

My only wish is to get this grand original old photo back in the hands of family members, and assistance from the two of you is surely welcomed. I understand, Jack, that you feel you may not be closely enough related to the family to wish to have the original. I am a retired church secretary with a hobby of rescuing original old photos from antique shops, and then I do census research to have accurate facts to use in the postings I make to genealogy surname boards. I leave my name and email address, in hopes of finding someone who will want the original photo, for only my costs. In return for this photo, I would ask what I paid for it at the shop in Sandwich, IL (in May, 2006), the cost of IL state sales tax, the cost of a sturdy photomailer to get it safely to the recipient, and the cost of postage. This is just a hobby, and I wish I were independently wealthy so that I could just send the photos free to family, but that is not the case.

I understand your wish, Denise, to have a scan of the photo for your records at the Historical Society, and as my end result is to get the original back to family, I am happy to send the scan this afternoon ... hoping that by doing so, we can find someone who will want the original.

I am margerice@prodigy.net, and look forward to emails regarding the photo.
Marge Rice, Joliet, IL
