They had a daughter named Talitha. In 1909, my great-grandmother Talitha (or Litha, for short) received these postcards in the mail:

Love this! I have some of those postcards too...in fact I think I have some that Ben sent to Talitha while he was courting her. Soooo romantic! That was all pre-Facebook of course.
Thanks! Did Nanny give you a picture frame with four of them? That is where these came from. I'd love to see yours. LOL, pre-FB ... how did we live?
These are wonderful pictures and cards! It's nice to see Litha through the years!
Thank you, MS! I appreciate you stopping by to say hello. Take care.
I love that you have a "trail" of postcards through the years! The one of the lighthouse is beautiful. I wonder why it was called Cape Disappointment. You could weave many stories around that. :)
Hi Sheila,
Oh, thank you! I'm not sure why it is called that, but I'll find out and put a link on here to Cape Disappointment. Great idea. I appreciate you stopping by to say hi!
God bless,
Kathy
