A London transport STL is seen on route 93 towards Putney with a utility Daimler following further along the road near the tube station in this 1950's Post card.
This has to be close to the turn of the century the post card is dated 1914, at some point most of the Fayette county Pa mines switched to electric Larrys to charge the coke ovens. The steam engine is neat, 0-4-0 intustrial type, link and pin couplers, poor maintenance as the number plate is hanging.
The rest of the story: This post card was sent to my grandmother under her maiden name. (read on it gets better!) She would have been 16 or 17 at the time. It is postmarked at the West Lisenring Post Office and sent to her in Uniontown, Pa. The message side of the card has been obliterated with pencil lead so that the message is unreadable(drat hate it when that happens). The question: as a teenager must have been something on there to not show the parents(remember it arrived in the mail box, delivered by a postman), she was likely home from school and the parents and least great grandfather wasn't at home and since they farmed great grandmother may have been busy also. It was important enough to keep the postcard(almost 100 yrs old now). but secretive enough to scratch out the message. The only legible part is a reference to Miss Uniontown. No one ever mentioned Grandma being in any beauty pagents...LMAO!!! Oh I love a mystery. Since it is sent from West Lisenring and my grandfather was a coal miner (not sure if he or his father may have worked there) would love to know if this is the marriage proposal. Maybe someday, I will get it looked at by a crime labe to see what the rest of the story is.

Welcome to the picture postcard village of Adare, which is one of Limerick's special places. With thatched roof cottages and Tudor style houses, beautiful gardens and ivy clad medieval churches in beautiful surroundings on both sides of the street beside the river Maigue.
For those who want to linger and learn more visit the Heritage centre and step back in time.

John Bulman — Mining Recorder, Deputy and Collector
John Bulman bought property in Windermere, B.C. in 1893 and called it Winfield Park Ranch. He owned it for seven years. John Bulman moved to Golden, B.C around 1904 and was a government agent at Golden, B.C. died in Vancouver on October 9, 1920 aged 65 years.
John Bulman
(b. 3 October 1855 in Bowness, Cimberland, England - d. 9 October 1920 at age 65 in Vancouver, B.C.) - his family emigrated to Canada in 1893.
His wife - Margaret English Bulman
(b. 1862 in England - d. 21 November 1931 at age 70 in Vancouver, B.C.)
They had one son - Siddons Bulman (b. 10 June 1883 in England)
History - The vein developed as the Delphine Mine was discovered in 1897 by Baptiste Morigeau, a local prospector. He staked the "Eureka" claim over the vein and sold it later that year for $500.00. The purchaser left the area and the claim lapsed in July the following year (Hamilton, 1914). In 1898, the property was restaked by George Starke as the "Delphine" claim, named after his wife. He also staked the "616" and "Eureka" claims to cover the vein along strike. During 1898 and the summer of 1899, Starke, and co-owners R.A. Kimpton and Arthur Harrison, shipped 77 tonnes (85 tons) of ore to the smelter at Trail, B.C. The first 18 tonnes (20 tons) returned 3,100 grams/tonne (90.4 ounces/ton) silver, 62.7% lead, and 2.4% copper (Bruce, 1899). In October, 1899, the property was bonded to H.C. Hammond, a mining broker in Toronto, Ontario. George Starke used his share of the profits from the mine to build the Delphine Lodge at Wilrner, B.C., a hotel that is still in use today.
Control of the mine passed into the hands of Robert Randolph Bruce, Hammond’s agent in B.C., a mining engineer who was later to become Lieutenant-Governor of B.C. Bruce had examined the property with Starke in September, 1897, and had been trying to acquire it for some time (Bruce, 1897). A thirteen man winter camp was established at the mine and work was actively carried out up to March, 1900. It is unknown how much ore was shipped during this period, but it seems likely that it was in the order of 90 to 140 tonnes. One carload shipped to Trail returned 7,193 grams/tonne (209.8 onces/ton) silver, 39.2% lead and 5.4% copper (B.C. Dept. of Mines, 1900). The mine was developed on two drift levels at 9 metres (30 feet) and 30 metres (100 feet) below the surface connected by a shaft. There was also a winze put down 12.8 metres (42 feet) from the north drift of the 9 metre level (Bruce, 1899 to 1902). The rest of 1900 and 1901 saw little work done on the property. A winter sleigh road was completed in 1901 and 72 tonnes of ore that was in bins at the mine was hauled out during the winter of 1901/02. One entry in Bruce’s assay book on October 9, 1901, indicates that development work had been continued to the 39 metre (128 ft) level (Bruce, 1899 to 1902).

The following article was written by Alex Weller - For a name affiliated with a long-time local resident, I was unable to find as much as I had hoped about Delphine’s early life. We know that she was born in November in Quebec, but we don’t know exactly what year: on the 1901 and 1911 Canadian census, Delphine reports her birth as being in November of either 1864 or 1869 respectfully. I was also unable to confirm any listing for Delphine on a census previous to 1901, although it is possible that she is listed in 1871 as Delima Francour (born 1862) and in 1881 as Delvina Francour (born 1861 and living in Fraserville, Témiscouata, Quebec). According to Delphine’s brief obituary she, “was a true pioneer woman and accompanied her husband on many hazardous trips through the mountains in connection with his mining interests.” A statement shared by Edmund T Johnston in 1922 goes a little bit further. Johnston was one of the first settlers in the Valley, and in a conversation with reporter Benjamin Richard Atkins, he identified Delphine as the “first white woman prospector in the Kootenays.

Well this was too much fun! Can you tell I'm on vacation and have absolutely nothing better to do than follow my heart into the sewing room?
Ok, this looks like the perfect postcard shot. Taken on travel day from Cavtat to Korcula, this is the city of Dubrovnik. We actually didn't go in the city, we will be doing next Wednesday.
You can see the wall/fortification surrounding the city. I'm really looking forward to shooting it up close. No extra saturation added. Just a polarizer.
As usual, much better for the soul in the light box

From the address appears to have been sent to family in Austria.
This is from an album of 51 WW2 German Army photos. Very few are actually named.
Following the horrific 8 hour massacre of 132 school children in Peshawar, the Tehreek-e-Taliban quickly "claimed responsibility" for the murderous attack.
Claiming responsibility for murdering helpless children is not something to be proud of in any religion.
I deeply respect Ashraf Ghani for clearly stating that this act was contrary to Islamic beliefs.
As a Christian, I was taught that Islam was the "Religion of Peace".
This despicable and cowardly act against defenseless children has sickened me to the core.

I nearly always refrain from making religious or political comments in public forums but this sickening and cowardly act has motivated me to do so.
What "justification" is there in any religion for the mass murdering of children?
Another post card from our family archive. I don't remember why I did not scan the back of this one.
Both of my grandparents went to the U. of I. in Champaign. So my hunch is they took the Illinois Central quite a bit.
I usually rode coach buses back and forth from the Chicago area when I went there. But once I took Amtrak. I was surprised how efficient the run from Champaign to Chicago was: fast and no time spent on sidings. In other words: very un-Amtrak.
