Description: This is a 1913 era postcard, posted, with correspondence. It is addressed to Mrs. Molly Carter of Topeka, Kansas. It was sent to her by her sister in Portland. See below for some interesting historical information about Molly. 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’ grandmother Mary (Mollie) Strawn Carter (the recipient of the postcard) was married to John R. Carter. John R. Carter was the great grandson of the Potawatomi missionary Robert Simerwell. His 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, and edge wear. The flower image is lovely and vivid in color. There are no other examples of this particular card on eBay or anywhere else on the internet. Look at all of my postcards! I am happy to combine shipping. Just ask either before or after your purchase. It all works,
