I've got a divided back postcard entitled "Taking a Day Off in Axtell Kansas." which I acquired on eBay recently. It shows a young lady of perhaps 12 years with puffed sleeve dress and large bow back of head (c. 1910?) a la the outfits in the video "Anne of Green Gables." She is standing on a porch tearing off a day on a calendar. The postcard was not mailed but has on the back in what looks like child's hand, "From Verah" and "Lista Walter" on the address side. Under Verah is written in adult hand "Livingston." As the card is not dated and there is no address, it does not reach the dignity of informal census achieved by a postmarked and addressed card, but---I sure hate to waste the names. Please let me know if you've got a suggestion. By the way, the reason I got the card is that my paternal grandmother Gertrude Edna Bailey (called Edna), b. near Baileyville 19 Nov 1886, was attended to by Dr. Wachter who lived in Axtell. I've got a photo of the Dr., his house and I think a wife (there were two?). Dr. Wachter took Edna shortly after birth to raise (the why of that is another story). Edna was the Dr's ward for about 12 years. When the Dr. either m. or re m., Edna allegedly left because she did not care for the new woman of the house. Edna was a handsome girl who I believe liked to be the center of attention. Let me know if there is any interest in the Dr. Wachter photos and I will have film copies made at no charge to genealogists or historians. Regards, Richard Allen "Dick" Couch Sault Ste.
