 Address: Mrs. Lizzie Jacques
Guilford, Indiana (I think this is Lizzie Hoffman Jacques, Family Search ID: GHPP-1FY, wife of my 9th cousin 3x removed, the family history was quite confusing as a Charles Frederick Jacques (1868-1899) married a Mary Elizabeth Poshard (1870-1943) and a George John Jacques (1838-1903) married a Mary Elizabeth Poshard (1840-1920) but I do think this is the right "Lizzie Jacques") Postmarked: Cincinnati, O. 1: 30AM Postcard: Ullman's "Gold Border" Series American Post Card-View Number 3113 Published by the Ullman Manufacturing Co., New York Gold foil outline 1 cent Franklin stamp History of Lincoln Park, Cincinnati, Ohio: created in 1858 and is now a part of Cincinnati Union Terminal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Park_(Cincinnati)

Y. July 29, 1928 Address: Miss E. & A. Ringer 3 Sunset Ave. Lynbrook, L.I. (Lynbrook is in Long Island, New York) ( I think this was written to Ellinor Ringer, Family Search ID L1ZZ-53M, and Annie Ringer, Family Search ID L1ZZ-V2B. Perhaps they were on vacation in Long Island or had a vacation house there? They had other siblings so not sure why it would only be addressed to them? They did have a sister named Wilhelmina Gensirz Ringer, Family Search ID LKQ9-5G8 so this is possible who they were referring to as Gerrie?) Postmarked: Saranac Lake N.
