One of my favorite "Family History Finds" this past year was an obituary for my 2nd great-granduncle, Joseph J. West. The obituary mentioned that Joseph West had been "one of the best and most trusted stage drivers in the country". To find out more about Joseph West and read his obituary, click here.

Stagecoach Christmas Cards
While going through some of my "old" Christmas Cards, I found several cards that had stagecoaches instead of sleighs. I love that the cards remind me of our 2nd great-granduncle Joseph West. And, I love the colors and details of each of the cards. The detail of the stagecoach, passengers, and horses is just amazing. The bottom card reminds me of a woodblock Arts and Crafts print. The snow and colors look as if it was applied by hand painting. These cards are probably from the 1910s - 1920s.
