Dear Mother, Just a card to let you I am back in Alma again. I stayed in Denver only two days. I wish I could have gone to Ft. Collins to see Mamie but I did not have time to spare. Will answer your letter in a few days. May have some news. Loving Son John

Aunt Annie

My great Aunt Annie Bartos lived with her twin Uncle Wencil until his death at 83 and then lived by herself until she died at 90 in 1983. She was a collecter. One walked between boxes in her house. Among this treasure is a collection of about 800 postcards from about 1910 to 1924. It is my goal to share them with her descendants and with the world.

The picture above is in her garden.

If anyone has information they would like to add -- either about the identity of people or photos to add, please contact me at lorlee0828@att.net. If you are a descendant of Aunt Annie and would like a copy of the cards on disc, please let me know.

I will try to posta new card every day, so please check back often. Please feel free to leave me your comments and to share this site with your friends.

BLOG EXPLANATION

Each card will have 2 views, front and back and will include my interpretation of the message [as best I can read it] including misspellings. Each card will have tags -- the year, the sender and the receiver. So if you want to see all of the cards from a certain year, you would search by that year or from a certain person, search on that name. If you click on either the front or the back view, it will open in a separate window, somewhat larger, and you can better see the details of the card.

A LITTLE FAMILY HISTORY

Frank Bartos [my great grandfather] emigrated from Bohemia in 1864 at age 18, with his four siblings and his parents Martin and Kathryn. They first settled in New Prague, Minnesota before coming to Lowry, Minnesota about 4 years later.

He and his wife Frances [Chan] had five children -- Frank Philomen, Joe, John, Wencil and Annie

Joe is my grandfather. He and Annie [Kalina] lived in the Lake Reno area all of their lives.

Frank Philomen and Mary [Prchal] settled in Superior, Wisconsin.

Annie and Wencil lived on the homestead all of their lives.

John was the traveler. He was WWI veteran, but did not serve overseas. He worked in Colorado and died in a freak accident, we believe, struck by lightning.
