Christmas Card Arrives After 93 Years
Saturday, December 15, 2007
(Note: Picture above is not the actual card) A Christmas card mailed in 1914 finally arrived to it's intended destination. The postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl, dated Dec. 23, 1914, was mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, from her cousins in Alma, Nebraska. Since Ethel Martin is deceased, the post office gave the card to a relative, her sister-in-law Bernice Martin.
It's a mystery where it spent most of the last century, Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said. "It's surprising that it never got thrown away," he said. "How someone found it, I don't know."Link
