Okolona Post Office in 1908

This is another picture found among some more of my grandmother's things. It show the Okolona post office in December of 1908. At the time this picture was taken, my grandmother was 12 years old.

WWI Newspaper Clipping

Here is a clipping from a WWI ad, saved by my grandmother. I think this came from a Baptist WWI Ministry, as it was included in a notebook she had kept with other related articles and writings. This print most likely dates to 1917.

On the back side is another clipping depicting a "nun"-type person tending to orphans of the war. In her writing are the words, "My heart yearns in silence with a sorrow all unknown, For those dear homeless children who are doomed to walk life's pathway alone."
