This is 23/100 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. |

1909
This is some of
the scenery we
saw when we
came home.
I included this card now, even though it wasn't mailed, because it is kind-of dated. 1909 was added above the message in pencil. This card was probably purchased by Edith's sister Victoria Duffield Sesslar when she and her family were traveling home from a trip to Los Angeles early in 1909. The handwriting looks like a match for her.
