Title A name given to the resource Aug. 25, 1910 A Subject The topic of the resource Central Falls, R.I. Jenks Park. Main Entrance and Resting Pavilion Description An account of the resource Notes: Apparently “the umbrella” is the “Resting Pavilion” of the title on the card. Notice Emma's helpful "x" on the face of the card. More than once Charles Nelson Cotton was listed as a painter in an earlier census. This is one of the few direct references to Charles Nelson Cotton, whom I think lived with Jennie throughout this period between 1906 and 1914. It is possible that Emma was writing separately to her father. This cast iron umbrella - as well as several others - are still standing in Jenks Park. Another one of these umbrellas in the park is partially visible in the black and white card dated May 17, 1910. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Hugh C.

Title A name given to the resource Aug. 28, 1911 A Subject The topic of the resource East Avenue, Pawtucket, RI Description An account of the resource Notes: The yellow building to the immediate left carries a sign that reads : H.M. Rounds. Carriage Manufacturer. A beautiful card with, a great variety of colors… marred only by that lurid lime green carriage in the foreground. The reference to the death of the apprentice blacksmith would be easy to track down in the Pawtucket Times were it not for the fact that that paper (and most all other historical Rhode Island newspapers) have not been put up online. My guess is that this was an employee. Franklin Blake started out as a blacksmith. (This was his listed profession in the federal census of 1880. See “Cotton Genealogies, Notes on Slaneys.”) Perhaps he was still in the business even at this point in time. If so, that business would soon disappear with the advent of the automobile.

Description An account of the resource Notes: It’s hard to imagine this excursion, insomuch as it’s been a long time since people would joy ride around on trains. It’s also hard to understand why train stations and post offices would be suitable images for post cards. Were these desirable images because they recorded the very place that the sender had been? Or were they reassurances of the national progress in transportation and communication? Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Published by The E.A.
