This is the twentieth in a series of postcards from 1908-1914 discovered last year in the Sierra Madre, California home of Warren Brown after his death. The collection of memorabilia was saved by his grandparents and passed down to Warren, my husband’s cousin.
Warren’s mother, Edythe Grace Sisson (1897-1978), was the daughter of Edith Amy Duffield (1864-1926) and Charles Herman Sisson (1868-1927). Charles and Edith were married in Ottawa, Illinois in 1895. They remained there until the early 1920s when they moved west to Los Angeles, California. |

Having a nice time on the train for Dixon (?).

I don't know anything about the sender of this card. I did look up the intersection on google maps and today there is a McDonald's restaurant instead of what looks on the postcard like a beautiful big home on the corner.
