“a chip off the old block”

Don’t you wish you had been here last August when these were ripe.  These were not the largest melons either but some that Ipol? Col took to town and gave to his friends.  Mattie

It was mailed in 1911 possibly in California.  It is addressed to Mr G R Wheeler Terrace, Minn

Thanks for stopping by.
From MJM

Martha M Wheeler (1873-1955) was married to Elmer Elsworth Wood (1865-1945) and had a daughter Dorothy E Wood (1908-?). On the 1930 census, Elmer was listed as Colonel E Wood, so perhaps the name written on the postcard is the abbreviation Col.

From Iggy:
George R had a daughter named Martha...I wonder if this is the Mattie that wrote the postcard. Jennie A and Martha M were children with his first wife. May and George A with his second wife

The back of the card

Mailed on Mar 12 1908 from Brook????Minn

It was mailed to Miss Jennie Master 3614 5th Ave South Minneapolis Minn

Did you notice the small envelope on the front of the postcard?

It held a small slip of paper.

suppose you think we wer disapeared by this time since we haven’t written but we have been kind of busy for some time Have been at our new place two weeks now + I like it first rate, tho it was rather dirty when we came here.  The owner of the place is going to have the house fixed some this spring it will be one muss all the time.

until it is ready, but think the place is all right after things once get straightened.  Received the postcard you sent some time ago, well as I’ve no news will close with love from Ted and myself  I remain your sister Clara  Are going home Sunday if the roads are nice.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:

The 1910 census shows Jenny Moster living at 3614 5th Ave South in Minneapolis. Jennie was 19 years old then and shown as niece to the head of household, Edward and Rose Goodrich. Although the name was indexed as Moster, it is most likely Mostu. Jennie Mostu was born 22 Aug 1890 to Ole and Mary Mostu. In 1895 the family was living in Madlia Village, Watonwan, MN. Father Ole A Mostu, mother Mary Mostu, and siblings Clara, Oscar, Rosa, Carl, Jennie, and Otto Mostu. Sibling Clara Mostu (1882-1958) married Theodore L Carlson (1881-1946). Sister Jennie Mostu (1890-1974) married Fay A Butts (1889-1959). The Mostu names have been indexed with several variations; Moster, Master, Mostu, Mastu.
