Goodrich Rubber Co. Buildings, Akron, Ohio. A-17260
No post mark. No address.
Grandpa Lee [Weaver] was working at the Goodrich Rubber Co., in Akron in 1913. This would explain the post card of the company buildings and that he kept the card unused as part of his collection of post cards.

No post mark, no address.
Another in the unused post card collection from the 1919 – 1951 era. The Ottawa has since been torn down. We used to see this hotel every time we went to Cheboygan — it was on the main corner of the crossing of the two main streets. My father would ALWAYS tell of the bar next to the Ottawa that his grandmother used to send him on a mission to fetch his grandfather. The bar had that great Northern Michigan name of The Bucket of Blood.

Another of Grandpa Lee’s unused post cards. Again, from the 1919-1951 time frame due to the postage requirement of 1¢. Grandpa Lee and Grandma Florence used to visit their friends’, Hazel and Reg Adams, who had a cottage on Mullet Lake near Cheboygan. Many times, the Adamses would loan out the cottage to the Weavers. There was no running water — a pump out in the front yard and one at the kitchen sink. The only requirement was the cottage be left as it was found — that meant the Out House was emptied. Grandpa was in charge and never seemed to mind. We always suspected this was his job as a boy. We joined them at the cottage on a number of occasions. Grandpa liked to go North near Labor Day to avoid the worst of Hay Fever in Detroit. It is also of note that my father was born in Cheboygan. It makes this a double interest post card.

Another in the series of Grandpa’s collection of unused post cards (it appears we will begin a batch of them today). Since the postage stamp instructions are to place a one cent stamp on the card, the card is from 1919 to 1951. The rate went up to 2¢ on January 1, 1952.

“Harold [Spuhler, a distant cousin] paraded here yesterday. He won a French Crote de Guerre. He was one of 11 out of 3600 who one [sic.] it. These 11 lead [sic.] the parade and say they were proud of time. I never heard so much cheering as these 11 men got. As ever. ”
Unsigned, but the card came from Uncle Heinie [Henry Allen Koontz] with his usual closing. Uncle Harold was a ½ first cousin, once removed to Grandma Florence and Uncle Heinie. Grandma’s sister, Essie, and Uncle Harold married in 1923 after her divorce was final from Louis Kincaid Postle in 1922. Since there was no issue from the marriage, there was no issue to the two being so closely related.
