I have assembled a large number of Post Cards, dating from the early 1900s to the mid-1900s.� The majority of these cards were sent to members of my wife?s family whom resided in Dubuque, Iowa.� They are interesting nonetheless.� The convention used in identifying each card is such that the name identifies the locale on the card and the date is that of the card?s postmark.� Those ID?d as ?circa? have a postmark, of which is illegible, or completely missing and thus is only an estimate. |

�Madison is a town in Jefferson County, Indiana along the Ohio River.� Most of the post cards originating from there were written to Anton and Caroline Fritsche.� Caroline?s maiden name was Huck, and it appears most of the cards originated from members of the Huck family.� Although most of the cards are written in English, a significant number are written in German.� Except for those mentioning Dubuque, most of the other cards, were sent by various family members while visiting the towns of mention. |
|
|
| It also became fashionable to place a person?s photo on a postcard.� Many of these type cards can also be found here.� The identity of many of these individuals is unknown. |
|
|
| This is a large project, with over 100 post cards, so I will occasionally be adding more to this collection.� Check back for updates. |
