Postcard from 1918



This is a postcard from my grandmother to her sister she sent in 1918. My grandfather probably developed this photo onto a postcard. He did his own developing in those days. My great-grandfather, Charles Nahrung, is the man on the right and the man on the left is my grandfather, Ernst Sieder. The woman standing in the center is my grandmother, Esther Nahrung Sieder. I believe my aunt is in the photo somewhere, but my father was not born until 1921.

Thanks to Lila Engelhardt for this image. Her husband, Kenneth,is the grandson of my grandmother's sister Minna "Minnie" Nahrung Engelhardt.

Note the address on the post card is name, city and state. There is no address and no zip code and it got there in those days.
