Surnames: BRUMMEL, PAISLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRG.2ACIB/20 Message Board Post: I have a collection of old postcards that belonged to various deceased relatives of mine who saved the cards sent to them by friends and family. One card has a postmark from Los Angeles, California and a date of Feb 17, 1923. It is signed Emma Brummel and is addressed to Mrs Paisley in Ottawa, Illinois. Emma says she is "having a fine vacation." I am not trying to sell the card. I just thought a Brummel somewhere might find it interesting to know what Emma was doing in 1923. I presume, since Emma was writing to someone in Ottawa, ILL. that she probably lived in or close to Ottawa, esp since she comments that no one in California is wearing a coat in February.
