This is postmarked Dec 31, 1-AM 1907 from St. Louis MO

Addressed to:

Miss Verna Loonam (I think, post mark partially covers)
St. Charles, MO
c/o Bell Telephone Ofc.

Says simply:

A Happy New Year-
Veneta

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.

New Year’s Greetings – this card would have been addressed to Loverne Loonam. The other one As time Rolls By was addressed to her sisiter Mary R Loonam. The sisters died in the 1950s. They were spinsters.

I have included the backs of these two cards. (One is in post below.)

F.E. Beach Art Studio — Texas

This picture was done by F. E. Beach of Lampasa, Texas. I have searched on line and find no information on the studio. This appears to be a little boy, finely dressed.

A Boy and His Dog

Posted on January 12, 2008 by photographer

I really like this picture:

My husband noted the sloping roof. I noted the hat that the lady is wearing. Looks like a ranger hat. We decided it must be cold territory.

I felt like a true archeologist with this one. Someone had glued it into a photo book at one time, as evidence by a thick black paper covering part of the back. There was a bit of writing visible underneath the edges of the paper. I took a barely damp paper towel and blotted the black paper until it peeled. I cannot make out all of this, but part of it says:

“this is the little boy who lives in our camp”

I cannot make out the rest.
