Lincklaen New York Holl Family House RPPC 1910

Postcards : Real Photo

 

Lincklaen NY House real photo postcard. Owners were probably Randall & Allie A. Holl. See explanation. Back: “Photo by W. J. Chorley. Syracuse, N.Y. Mailed to Miss Rena Holl, Cortland, N. York. Postmark: Lincklaen [missing last two letters.] From Randall. Stamp: One cent. Size: 3 3/8" X 5 3/8.”

Message: “Lincklaen, N.Y. Sept 25, 1910. Dear Rena: Here’s the place, and any time we shall be glad to see you all any time. Had a dandy time - with love to all I am your affectionate Uncle Randall.”

A little Internet research found the following: 15-year-old Rena Holl [b. 1895] lived in Cortlandville, Cortland, New York with parents Jerome [b. 1862] & Julia Holl in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census. Randall Holl [B. 1855] was living with his wife, Allie A. in Lincklaen, Chenango Co., New York in that same census. These towns match the postcard.

In 1880, a Randall Holl [25 yrs old, B.1855] lived in Lincklaen with his brother Frederick and his wife Abbe. They were a dwelling away from Thomas & Elisabeth Holl with their son Jerome [18y b.1862].

In 1870, Lincklaen US Federal Census Thomas & Elizabeth Holl lived with their children, including Frederick 16y, Randall 15y and Jerome 16y.

Uncle Randall sent his niece Rena Holl a postcard in 1910 inviting her to his home. Fun research.

Condition: Very nice condition with two red ink marks, upper edge.

Optional insurance.
