A Happy Ending — Meeting Mary Loonam
Dear Readers,
You may not believe this, but one of the postcards here has been attached to a family, two times now!! I have heard from two relatives of the Loonams and attached here is a very sweet picture of one of the Loonam sisters: Mary.
Mary never married.
Here is the original post from 12/31/2009.

I cannot read the full post-marked date on this one, but it does say Dec 31 and is stamped Curryville. It is addressed to:
Miss M. R. Loonam
4509 Washington Ave
St. Louis, MO
It reads: Hope you will be up soon.
Your friend,
J.K.B.
PS–I am excited to report that a family member (from Ireland!) has found my site and has given me some information about the card.
The New Year’s Greetings card would have been addressed to Loverne Looman. This one, As time Rolls By, was addressed to her sisiter Mary R Loonam. The sisters died in the 1950s. They were spinsters.
I have scanned the back of this card.
Take care,
Lynn

No, nothing written on the back of this one, but sometimes the backs of postcards make the BEST graphics! They are fun to write on for headers, etc.
