ADVENT DAY 13: PICTORIAL REVIEW

The above postcard was sent to "Master Francis Portfors" (Uncle Porkie), Weippe, Idaho, postmarked from Orofino on December 23, 1916. "Hope Santa fills your stocking full." Signed: Harold and Clarence. I can only guess this might be the same Harold and Clarence (Willis) from the moon photo. The handwritten message reads: "Your grandma called on me the next day after Thanksgiving. Was real glad to see her. Hardly knew her -- she is so thin." Signed: Mrs. C.N.W. So, it seems as though Harold and Clarence's mother was acquainted with my great-grandmother, Alice Mary Stinson Sanders. What do you think?

Dorothy and her boy doll, "Albert," Headquarters, Idaho, 1917.


And a photo of Francis and Dorothy Portfors.
