Happy Valentine's Day


Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Here are two cards I'd like to share.

The first was sent to my great-grandmother Janet McAdam in 1911.

Valentine - 1911 - from Roy Stachwick perhaps

Two months later Janet McAdam married Willard Lowe Waning not the sender of the card!

The second car is a Valentine my grandmother sent to my grandfather while they were dating (pre-1936).

Valentine - from Margaret to Jim - per 1936 (inside).

They were married for 71 years!
