Honesdale, PA

It looks like someone wrote in pencil on the front: "Hope you are too."
The message sent to Miss Sarah Denney in 1915 reads:
Dear sis how are you getting along
I am dandy   hope you are having a fine time down there
by Walter


The message doesn't seem to indicate that Sarah was recovering from illness or injury, so perhaps she worked at Burns Hospital.

Here's another view of Honesdale, which currently has a population of about 5,000  (about 3,000 in 1915) :

Ladies in Bernay Play Croquet

This picture was taken in Bernay, which is located in northern France, in the Eure Department of Normandy. Ladies with mallets are not to be messed with, especially the one on the very left. I think she may be the ringleader.

Nettie Bee is Vacationing in Fife

Nettie Bee is a wonderful name to have. Miss Nettie Bee was vacationing in Fife, Scotland in 1917 (?)
I have a number of postcards to and from the Bee family, all of them lovely like this one.

I will say that I liked this card a lot more before I happened to watch part of a zombie movie (Shaun of the Dead) at my gym the other day. Something about the eyes. Oh, I hope I haven't ruined it for you.


Here's the back of the card:
 


The message reads:
Thursday
Dear N.
Very many thanks for you lovely P.P.C Sorry the weather is so broken (?) With hope it will be better tomorrow for your last day. With love from L. Chalmers
