It goes on to tell about the relatives who owned and worked the DOANE Farm. The Bible also contains handwritten Holy Matrimony page of this couple's marriage, other marriages, births, and a very detailed Deaths page. It also has several loose articles such as newspaper clippings mentioning DOANE relatives and a Birth Registration for Paul Doane BENJAMIN, dated 4 January 1925 and naming Claude Earl BENJAMIN as father and Dessie I.

It was sent to Melba LUKENS, E. State Street, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, by her mother, who was visiting Washington, D.C. The salutation was "Dear Melba and Mac" (or possibly Mae). Melba's mother asks if Father is eating right. I would love to see this postcard find its rightful home, so if you know Melba or her family, please let me know. Please use "Melba" as the subject of your reply. Sharon Brearey [email protected]
