Description
Alt text: The back of a used postcard features a green one-cent George Washington stamp and a circular postmark from Des Moines, Iowa, dated September 3, 1914. The card is addressed to Miss Lillian L. Birkenholz in Maryville, Missouri, care of Alma Stamper, 117 North Hester Street. A handwritten message in pencil fills the left side and top: "How are you? I am fine. Everyone else is well as usual. Haven't heard from Lizzie lately. We had quite a fire here this evening. Emerson Hipsley's barn, hay loader and corn crib burned to the ground, that large gray horse was in the barn and it burned so bad they are afraid they will have to kill it. We could see it from here. Charley Wittmer had a fire out in Kansas too." It is signed, "Margaret." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
