Miss Hannah Clevenger lived in Bordentown, a small city on the Delaware River in Burlington County of west-central New Jersey.

The first European settler in this area was an English quaker, Thomas Farnsworth in 1682, but the community takes its name from Joseph Borden who created an impressive system of ferrying passengers and goods to Philadelphia and New York in 1740.

Fun Facts: 

Joseph Bonaparte, older brother of Napoleon and former King of Naples, bought an estate outside Bordentown in which to spend his years of exile beginning in 1816.

Clara Barton established the first free public school in New Jersey in Borderntown in 1852.

In February of 1928, Hannah received a postcard from May G. Robbins.

May mailed the postcard from Globe, a city in Gila County of central Arizona.

The city began as a mining camp when silver was discovered on the nearby San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in 1875.

The city now boasts a remarkable historic district from the boom years.

The face of the postcard is a drawing of the Dominion Hotel, situated on a corner of a street in Globe.

The hotel has an attached Garage, and a structure that may be the hotel restaurant.

The Dominion Hotel declined after the Old Dominion Mine closed in 1931.

Ir became a boarding house in the years after World War II.

A fire destroyed much of the upper floors in 1981 and the building was finally demolished in the 21st century.

From the roof-top sign, we learn that the Dominion boasts of being the “Headquarters of the Apache Trail”.

The “Apache Trail” was a former stagecoach roue that ran about 40 miles through the Superstition Mountains.

It offered spectacular views, but has been partially closed due to damage from floods and wildfires since 2019.

On the reverse, May reports, “Had breakfast at this hotel yesterday morning before starting over the Apache Trail”

The brief message offers few clues about May’s excursion or about her relationship to Hannah.

A blurb for the Dominion Hotel boasts that the maps for the “Globe Route” show the short route, the Scenic Route, the all the year route over fine roads”.

One hopes that May was thrilled by her trip and shared more travel stories with Hannah.
