    1. [PALACKAW] NEEDLE Family Letter
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old letter which was written by Chas. NEEDLE of Olyphant, Pennsylvania in November 1891. The letter is written in hebrew so I have no idea what the content of the letter might be. The letter is written on stationary from M. NEEDLE, Dealer in Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Groceries and provisions, Sole Agent for Pillsbury's Best in Olyphant, PA. The letter is inside an envelope printed with the name and address of the "Palmer Photoplay Corporation, Palmer Building, Hollywood, CA", including a handwritten note "The Chas. Needle Hebrew Letter 1891". That envelope then appears to have been mailed from Brooklyn, NY in 1930 to Miss M. Gertrude TAYLOR of Bloomingdate, PA and someone has written "Save" on the outside of the envelope. Based on limited research I was able to locate census records for this NEEDLE Family as follows: 1900 census of Olyphant Boro, PA: M. NEEDLE, age 51, born Mar 1849, married 30 years, born Austria, parents born Austria, to USA 1886, a Merchant Fannie NEEDLE, wife, age 51, born Feb 1849, married 30 years, 6 children/5 living, born Austria, parents born Austria, to USA 1890 Charley NEEDLE, son, age 21, born Jan 1879, born Austria, to USA 1890, a Clerk Harry NEEDLE, son, age 18, born Mar 1882, born Austria, to USA 1890, at School Sammie NEEDLE, son, age 14, born Jan 1886, born Austria, to USA 1890, at School Living directly next door is Jacob NEEDLE age 24 and his wife Fannie NEEDLE age 24 1910 census of Olyphant Boro, PA: Marcus NEEDLE, age 60, married 37 years, born Galicia, parents born Austria, to USA 1887 Fannie NEEDLE, wife, age 60, married 37 years, 6 children/5 living, born Galicia, parents born Austria, to USA 1887 Samuel NEEDLE, son, age 23, born Galicia, to USA 1887, a Fire Insurance Agent 1910 census of Winton Boro, PA: Chas NEEDLE, age 28, married 3 years, born Austria, parents born Austria, to USA 1902, a Store Merchant Blanch NEEDLE, wife, age 21, married 3 years, 2 children/2 living, born Austria, parents born Austria, to USA 1900 Joseph NEEDLE, son, age 3, born PA Sydney NEEDLE, son, age 1, born PA Mary MACLAK, servant, age 16, born Austria, parents born Austria, to USA 1906, a Servant 1920 census of Scranton, PA: Charles NEEDLE, age 40, to USA 1890, born Galicia, parents born Galicia, Owns Store Blanche NEEDLE, wife, age 30, to USA 1898, born Galicia, parents born Galicia Joseph NEEDLE, son, age 13, born PA Sydney NEEDLE, son, age 10, born PA Max NEEDLE, son, age 8, born PA Tillie NEEDLE, dau, age 6, born PA Maurice NEEDLE, son, age 4 years + 3 months, born PA Jacob H.
