OlentangyGate1914

Columbus, Ohio.  B2270Q20.  Published by H. G. Tinnerman & Co., Chicago

Post marked Columbus, Ohio.  May 8, 1914.  Addressed to Mr. Lee G. Weaver, #92 Tireman Ave. Detroit, Michigan.

“5/8/14  Dear Nephew,  Yours recd.  Glad to hear your Pa [Lemuel Weaver, Lee’s father]is improving.  Hope he will be able to sit up by the time this reaches you and hope it will find all your folks well.  Is May [Mariam Mae Wright, Lee’s cousin] with you?  We had a heavy rain this morn. Now it is cool. I hope it will not get cold enough to frost.  My garden looks nice enough 2 sit out 13 tomato plants.  I would not like them to get killed.  Write when you have time.  Does Aunt Rose [Roseanah Weaver Fisher, Lemuel’s sister] need anything?  Let me know.  By By All  Christeen [Christiana Weaver Rinehart Schwartz, Lemuel’s sister].  [across the top] Everybody is working every day.”

More insight into Great Grandpa Weaver being ill.  He does recover since he lives until 1929.   Address on post card is wrong, 92 instead of 94. but that did not deter the postal carrier of 1914.

“Dear Aunt, I was going to write you right away Monday but you see I didn’t.  It rained so hard Sunday night that we stayed to Aunt Ora’s [Ora Lee Churches, Effie’s sister] all night.  Came home in the morning.  We did not get wet.  Uncle George [George Churches, Ora’s husband] was to the car to meet us.  Papa [Stephen A. D. Wright, Marietta Lee Wright’s husband] said he would like a gallon of maple syrup.  Will you please write and tell me where to send Lee’s [Lee G Weaver, Effie’s son] mail.  All are well.  Stella [Estelle Wright]”

Aunt Ora and Aunt Myra (Hannah Almira) married brothers – George W. and Robert Richard Churches.  I never knew Great Grandma Weaver was the source of Maple Syrup.

Another full report from Cousin Stella.

Chateau by the Sea – 1913

Posted on August 7, 2016 by Pat Shaul

Chateau1913

Copyright NY 1909. 99.   [no other description]

Post marked Redford, Mich. Jul 25, 1913.  Addressed to Mrs. Effie L[ee] Weaver, 94 Tireman Ave., Detroit, Michigan.

“July 25 ’13   Dear Aunt, How are you these fine days?  O.K. I presume.  How is the house coming along?  Most done.  Minnie Barns [Minerva Jenks Barnes Bolton Hall, Effie’s Aunt and Esther Jenks Lee’s sister] is here.  Came yesterday. Got in Detroit 10:30 A.M.  We are still picking berries yesterday and have to again today.  When you come out will you bring that box?  I can get it made bors at Northville.   Estelle [Wright]”

Not sure why Aunt Minerva was being referred to by her first married name, unless, Estelle was referring to Erminnie Barnes Westervelt, her daughter.   Erminnie became a widow in 1903.   The word between “made” and “at” cannot be read clearly.

Did you ever feel like … – 1913

Posted on August 6, 2016 by Pat Shaul

Puzzle1913

Did you ever feel like a picture puzzle shoved off the table.   C.S. 468  Made in U.S.A.

Post marked Columbus, Ohio.  Jul 19, 1913.  Addressed to Mr. Lee Weaver, 119 S. Main St., Akron, Ohio.   [the address is crossed out and then is written: No End St. Detroit, Mich.  P.O. Box 20]

“July 17, 1913     Dear Cousin, Just a couple of lines to let you know we too are still among the living but it is hard telling when we will leave this beautiful earth for some other land.  Kathreene [Weaver]”

Not a very uplifting message!  Kathreene has written on the front of the card, “I have many a time”. Not sure if the address change is permanent.   Will need to see if later mail goes back to Detroit.   I do like that is has No End St. and it got to Grandpa!

Flood, Columbus, Ohio – 1913

Flood1913

Speacemaker Grocery (explosion)  Flood 1913

Post marked Columbus, Ohio,  Jun 7, 1913.  Addressed to Mr. Lee Weaver, 199 South Main St., Akron, Ohio

“Col. Ohio, June 7, 1913.   Hello Lee, Thought maybe you had a flood in Detroit.  What are you doing in Akron?  I am very busy at school now,  exams next week.  Ans and let me know you got this card.  Florence [Koontz].     X is the height of water.”

OK, so Grandpa didn’t tell Grandma he was working in Akron.  Grandma worried that the flood in Columbus came up to Detroit — that was really Grandma.

Post marked Columbus, Ohio.  Jun 9, 1913.  Addressed to Mrs. Effie [Lee] Weaver, 94 Tireman Ave., Detroit, Mich.

“6/8/13  Dear Mother,  Folks all well and getting along fine.   Lee [Weaver]”

Grandpa must have been visiting family in Columbus and was giving a status to Great Grandma Weaver.  Wonder if he also stopped by on Broad Street and paid a call on future Grandma?
