Merrie Merrie Christmas

 Merrie Merrie Christmas

This Christmas Post Card was from Nancy Hatfield (1860-1946) to her great-grandson LeRoy Martin.  Nancy would have given it to LeRoy in about 1940 or before.  She was living in Dove Creek, Colorado at the time and LeRoy was living nearby in Cortez, Colorado.  The card is at least 80+ years old.  The spelling of Merrie is interesting - I don't think I have seen that spelling used on a Christmas card before.  

The only picture I can find with both Grandma Hatfield and LeRoy is the following Wilson Family photo.  LeRoy is standing right in the middle between his Great-Grandmother Nancy Hatfield and his Grandmother Pearl Wilson.  They are standing just behind the children sitting on the porch. LeRoy is goofing off by poking out his tummy.  Grandma Nancy Hatfield is standing to the right of LeRoy wearing a little black cap on her head. 

 

Wilson Family Gathering

The Charles B. Wilson family gathering photo.  The date is unknown but was probably taken around 1939-1941.  If anyone has an exact date, please leave the date in comments.

Not sure who all the younger children sitting in front belong to.
