Postcards and Genealogy - Hamilton, Barkley, Roam

Postcard messages from the 1900's were very much like Twitter is today. News of births, deaths, illness and yes even the weather was noted in these brief missives. Day to day events are pure gold to genealogists and those interested in genealogy so today I start my daily log of names and addresses in hopes of helping you connect with your past.

Today's listings include postcards sent to:

Miss Amy Hamilton
809 E. Jefferson St.
Kokomo, Indiana

James Barkley
Sandusky, Wisconsin

Charles Roam
Rushville, Indiana

Miss Amy Hamilton received this postcard of the Heisen Building in Chicago, Illinois. Finished the summer of 1912, John D. was sure to point out the wireless apparition on the top, no doubt a novelty to residents of Kokomo, Indiana.
