Birthday greetings to my Great Grandfather Weaver from his brother, William Powell Weaver’s wife. She was apparently in charge of the family remembrances. Based on the postage requirement printed on the card (Domestic One Cent, Foreign Two Cents) this card dates from prior to 1918.

“Mr. & Mrs. S. L. Wood”
Not sure which of the Weaver family is being notified (Great Grandparents or Grandparents) but it appears Mr. and Mrs. Wood had not settled on a name that was good enough for their new offspring since there is nothing written on the front.

Post marked Redford, Mich. Apr 12, 1909. Addressed to Mr. Lee Weaver, 94 Tireman Ave., Detroit, Mich.
“Apr 11, 09 How are the folks? Grandma [Esther Jenks Lee] is better. Was glad to hear that you got your place all right. How is your Ma [Effie Lee Weaver]. I hope better. Love Mae Wright [Mariam Mae Wright]”
Apparently, Spring of 1909 was not a good health time for the Lee women. Great Great Grandmother Lee was only better and cousin Mae was sending wished that Great Grandmother Weaver was doing better. Not sure what she meant by Grandpa Lee getting his place. In 1909, Grandpa would have been turning 16 years old. So, he would not have been moving into his own living quarters. Possibly, Mae was referring to his place on the Great Lakes Steamer for the summer or his place in Business School.
Easter Greetings.
Post marked Redford, Mich. Mar 23, 1910. Addressed to Mr. Lee Weaver, C.B.C Ypsilanti, Mich.
“Dear Cousin Lee, How are you. I am well and so are all. When ate you going on the boat? Stella [Estelle Wright] said you was going back. Are you coming out to Grandma’s [Esther Jenks Lee] Easter? Wishing you a Joyful Easter. Your Cuz, Mae [Marian Mae Wright]”
In 1910, Grandpa Lee was attending Cleary Business College in Ypsilanti. Summers, he was still working on the Great Lakes steamers. Stella and Mae were sisters and daughters of Great Grandmother Weaver’s [Effie Lee Weaver] sister, Marietta Lee Wright. Stella was one year, to the day, younger than Grandpa. Mae was two years younger than her older sister. Both appear in numerous post cards over the years. Esther Jenks Lee was the mother of both Effie and Marietta.
A Joyous Eastertide. Stecher Litho, Rochester, N.Y. Series 507A. Made in U.S.A.
Post marked Columbus, Ohio. Apr 16, 1919. Addressed to Mrs. Lee G. [Florence Koontz] Weaver, 92 Tireman Av. Detroit, Mich.
“Dear Florence, This is some Easter weather. Hope you are well. Harold [Spuhler] has been here since Sunday. Got a letter from Billy [William P. Koontz] he is getting better. Mother [Phebie Ann Gardner Koontz]”
Great Grandma Koontz packed a lot of information into a few sentences. In 1919, Uncle Harold was just cousin Harold (½ first cousin, once removed). He and Aunt Essie Koontz, Grandma’s sister, were married in 1923. There was a lot of visits between the Koontz children and the Spuhler household over the years (a number of newspaper accounts of visits). Uncle Bill, Grandma’s younger brother, came back from Europe after World War I with an infirmity.
