Sunday School Dogs

It seems that at one time it was common practice to send personal reminders to attend Sunday school and church. The message reads:

Dear Bernice: Sunday is rally day for the Church and Sunday School. I am real anxious all my little folks should come so hope you will be with us. With love from your Sunday School teacher Miss Loring.

Miss Loring did not want Bernice to be distracted by the original message on the front of the card - or perhaps she couldn't stand the bad rhyme. The scratched out text reads: Two little Airedale pups are we. Shaggy of coat and of gender "she."

Although there are some very nice remaining old buildings in Elmira, the ones on E. Water Street appear to be gone.

West Water Street - Elmira, New York

West Water Street in the 1930s had streetcar service, lots of shops and a new elevated railroad. It looks different today, but some of the buildings are still there.  The buildings on the right-hand side have been replaced by a park.
