Mrs. Henry Christner (Phebe) lived in Baltic, a village at the juncture of three counties in central Ohio (Coshocton, Holmes, and Tuscarawas).

In 1912, about 390 people lived in Baltic.

In February of 1912, Mrs. Christner received a postcard from her niece, Ada Gerber.

Ada mailed the postcard from Dundee, now a census-designated place in Wayne Township of Tuscarawas County of central Ohio.

The community was platted at the junction of two roads in 1847, and a Post Office was established in the same year.

(The postmark is partially obscured – I believe that it is “Dundee”.)

Baltic, Ohio is about 12 miles southwest of Dundee.

On the face of the postcard, a copper pot filled with blue flowers is the focal point in a bold geometric design,

Beneath the floral offering, a printed message extends, “Greetings Kind and True”.

The postcard artist is not identified.

It appears that the postcard was printed in the US, although a publisher’s insignia cannot be recognized.

On the reverse, we observe that Ada has the habits of a good correspondent and that she displays decent handwriting.

After greeting “Dear Aunt Phebe”, Ada acknowledges receipt of a card from Phebe, and shares that she “was glad to hear from you once again”.

Ada asks, “How are you folk getting along”.

In Dundee, “we all have the cold pretty bad, some of us had the grippe”.

Fortunately, the afflicted “are better again”.

Tomorrow, “Ma and Pa expect to go (to) Portage County…”

(Portage County is between the cities of Akron and Cleveland – beginning about 60 miles northeast of Dundee.)

Ada reports, “I don’t know when we will come to Baltic yet”.

In closing, Ada shares that “Grandma is well”.

Ada asks that Phebe “Ans. Soon”, and she signs as “Your niece, Ada Gerber”.

Aunt Phebe appears to have treasured the postcard; it was preserved in excellent condition.

One hopes that all the relatives enjoyed a beautiful Spring and that they exchanged many more postcards.
