1900’s

From the Old Photo Album

One of our members graciously allowed us to borrow and scan this photo postcard for our archives. The photo is captioned “Going through Farnham at 60mi per hour” and also has the comment “Walters photo”, which tells us it was most likely taken by Lynn Walters of Brant, N.Y. In the background we know that the street is Railroad Avenue and we can faintly see a white sign that seems to be advertising “Berns House” or “Berns Hotel”.

The postmark is dated Sept 24, 1909, out of the Farnham, NY post office. Addressed to Ethel Cogswell of Silver Creek, N.Y. the card includes a personal note from “Ed & Elena” that reads as follows: “We are just taking this train for the fairgrounds. Did you miss me today dear. Oh Sheesh!”
