Description

Mrs. Jennie Dunham Pawtucket Sept. 17 1912 99 Spring St. Dear Jennie, I thank you for your kind invitation to make you a visit but I hardly think it will be so I can come now it has got so late in the season, and I think you have done well to entertain so many this summer. I hear from Emma often over the phone but have not seen her since she came home. Well Jennie, I received the news last week that brother John Cole passed away the 12th of this month. Fannie and Grace went down Fri. The funeral was held there Sat. He was sick but a short time, the Chaplain wrote Fannie a very good letter saying that he made his peace with God before he went and wanted him to write just the words he sent to them. Fannie said the funeral service was very impressive and she thought it was best to have him buried there. He died three days before his pension was due $92.00 but they cannot have it as he was dead. I wish Florence could have had it but that is their rule. I think brother Charlie will recognize this picture. Give him my love and accept much for yourself Lovingly Aunt Carrie Fannie gave me this post card. She bought quite a number at Togus.
