Postcard in 1908

This postcard was sent from my grandfather, John S. N. Mort, to my father, Norman A. Mort, in January 1908. My grandfather worked on telegraph lines and was away from home a lot and stayed in touch by postcards, the practice on those days.

Date & Place: January 1908 in Fannettsburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania 17221, United States
