A postcard to Mrs. D. Edgar Bittle (Floy Miller Biser Bittle) of Myersville, mailed from Frederick on 28 December, 1925. Owned by Ann Longmore-Etheridge.
"Will be out Wednesday afternoon, either on the 1:50 or 3:50 [trolley], am not sure which one. Hope you have had a nice Christmas. Tell the kids, 'Hello'. Will see you later. Lovingly, Madelene."
The Bittles lived at 401 Main Street, Myersville. The family was headed by David Edgar Bittle (1889-1952), son of Myersville merchant and banker George Waters Bittle and his wife Mary Elizabeth Routzahn Bittle. Bittle married Floy Miller Biser Bittle (1888-1964), who was the daughter of Charles Calvin Biser and Carrie May Miller Biser of Middletown. The "kids" mentioned in the postcard were Hilda Mae Bittle Hauver and Kyle Waters Bittle, the couple's children.
In 1925, the Bittle home was new and well-appointed. It was apparently built after fire damage to the previous house on the site in January 1919, when buildings and homes in the immediate area caught light in a substantial conflagration.
Many members of the Bittle clan are buried in St. Paul's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Main Street, Myersville, in a large and striking plot.
