The message reads:
Dear May: Lula's Terre Haute address used to be 1815 N. 10th St. I don't know where she is now but wish I did. She was in school at Granville, Ohio the last I heard from her but that has been several years ago. Mabel

Addressee: Miss Gertrude Bontz, Glasford, Illinois
Postmark: Hanna City, Illinois, 19 September 1910
The message reads:
Thomas Walter Gibbons at the age of 6 months.
There is no other identifying information.
It is quite possible that this is the Thomas W Gibbons found in Logan, Peoria, Illinois in the 1920 census. If it’s him, I believe I found an SSDI listing for him as well. Additional research is needed to determine if this it the correct person and if so, if there are any living relatives to pass this photo on to.

Addressee: Frank Trapp, Taylorville, Illinois
Postmark: Colorado Springs, Colorado, 27 Jul 1925
Signed: Vin
Postcard imprint reads:
Mt. Manitou Scenic Incline
At the Summit of the longest and highest incline on the globe. You cannot afford to come to Colorado and not take this grand trip.
The message reads:
Sure am seeing the sights. Look in Pike's Peak Saturday, seeing sunset from top & coming down after dark. Would like to put in a month out here if I could afford it. Vin
There is no other identifying information. Oddly enough, this could be one of my Trapps, but I haven’t found a connection as of yet.
