We met the schoolboy, Benjamin Stauffer, in earlier postcard stories.
Benjamin attended school somewhere near Millersville, PA where his family lived on a large farm.
Miss Minnie Lintner, the teacher, presented colorful postcards to students who earned “Headmarks” for achievement in her classroom.
Benjamin appears to have been a very good student as we have acquired numerous examples of the postcard awards presented to him by Miss Lintner.
On February 28, 1910, Benjamin was awarded a postcard in celebration of Easter.
The face of the postcard bears a charming drawing of a hen and six multi-colored chicks scratching the ground around a weathered fencepost.
The figures are lightly embossed.
A printed legend in the sky proclaims, “A Joyous Easter”
One hopes that Benjamin, Miss Lintner, and all those close to them enjoyed a joyful Easter in 1910.
