A few post cards from Mary’s cousins in 1912, inquiring about her mother Eva’s health. Eva passed away later that year on July 20th.

Translation for back of March 1912 post card:

Dear Cousin Mary,

     I read your letter and was so anxious to hear of Aunt Eva. It is certainly pitiful the way she has to suffer but I hope the Dear Lord who suffered so much for our sake will give her strength. Mama[1. Irene’s mother Christena (Specht) Ehrhardt was Eva’s older sister.] is heart broken to think that she cannot see her. We had a terrible storm last week and so many fruit trees were damaged, it was the worst we had since I can remember.

                                                                                         Irene

Easter Greeting from your cousin Gussie A. Rumping. How is Auntie?
