Title: Metropolitan Hotel, Howard, Kans.
Post by: Janet Harrington on March 26, 2010, 08:55:37 PM
This is a postcard picture of the Metropolitan Hotel.  It has a one cent stamp on it postmarked 1911.  The addressee is a Miss E.N. Ayres, Fort Collins, Col. at 202 W. Magnolia St.  What little I can read says, "Miss Lees died Wed. at 3 p.m. of pnumonia.  She had been sick about ten days.  The funeral will be Friday at 3 p.m.  Ma and pa left monday for Hot Springs, Ark.  Ma has eczema.  Pa will home next week. "  I can't read the signature as whoever had this postcard trimmed it up and put it in a scrapbook.  Anyway, wanted to share.
