This second family postcard was sent from Frederick to Miss Mildred Knodle of Myersville on 22 October, 1909. The sender was Walter Knodle (1873-1929), Mildred's father. It reads: "Hello Mildred, How are you getting along. Wish you were here tonight. You could go to the show. I am not good. Am so tired and stiff. Help Mama all you can and be a good girl. Tell her not to worry about anything. Take good care of Baby and Helen. I will bring you something. Your Papa."
Below: Mildred Elizabeth Knodle Poffenberger, Jacob Berman Poffenberger, Audrey Irene Knodle, and Fannie Rosella Moser Knodle around the time of Mildred’s marriage in 1921.
