Another blank card in the collection of Lee Weaver
565 – Pikes Peak, Altitude 14,109 Feet, Surrounded by clouds. Famous in frontier history for the slogan “Pikes Peak or Bust”. Pikes Peak is, perhaps, America’s most famous mountain and also one of its most impressive. Other peaks of great elevation are but little above surrounding mountains while Pikes Peak from the east towers over 8000 feet above Colorado Springs and surrounding plains, a snow-capped landmark that may be seen for over a hundred miles. Pub. by Sanborn Souvenir Co., Inc., Denver, Colo. — Made in U.S.A. 28282.
Another of the unused post cards in the collection dating back to the Weaver automobile trip to the West Coast in 1937.
517, Summit of Pikes Peak at sunrise. Pikes Peak is America’s most famous mountain. 113317. For half a century Pikes Peak has been a point of pilgrimage for the tourist and sightseer. The trip is a badge of travel. Thousands journey especially to see the majestic grandeur of the sunrise; an experience never to be forgotten especially if it chances that it occurs in a sea of clouds. Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colo.

Another of the unused post cards from the Weaver trip to the West Coast. They repeated this trip in 1960, after Grandpa Lee retired from Texaco. There are movie pictures of Grandma sitting at the top of Pikes Peak on the seat of a Covered Wagon.

City Water Works, Ligonier, Ind. 33203-R
Post marked Ligonier, Ind. Aug. 26, 1918. Addressed to Mrs. Lee [Florence Koontz] Weaver, 92 Tireman Ave., Detroit, Mich.
“Can’t you drive down next Sunday? Russel is coming there Sunday. asw Henry [Allen Koontz, Forence’s brother]”
Ligonier, Indiana, is where the Koontz family had settled for a number of generations prior to Florence’s and Henry’s father remove to Ohio. Much of the family, including their Grandfather, Ezra Peter Koontz, stayed in Indiana. I have no idea who Russel was or why his presence would mean Grandma should drive to Indiana.
Powers Beach, Mullet Lake, Near Cheboygan, Mich. 120687. Made by Curt Teich & Co., Inc., Chicago, U.S.A.
No post mark, no address.
Another of the unused cards in Grandpa Lee’s collection. This one really looks like a view of Mullet Lake from Reg and Hazel Adams’ cottage — the long dock, the row boat, the birch trees. It was a quiet peaceful time.
