Miss Frieda Rohrig lived in Mauch Chunk, a borough on the Lehigh River in east central Pennsylvania.

Mauch Chunk (the name is derived from indigenous language referring to bears) became a center of coal transport from the anthracite region – first by canals and then by railroad.

The borough is now know as “Jim Thorpe”.

In the 1950’s the declining town agreed (with Jim Thorpe’s widow) to build a monument to Jim Thorpe, great Native American Olympic athlete from PA, and to name the community in his honor.

Early historical preservation efforts made Jim Thorpe a thriving center of tourism today – beautiful historic homes and buildings (including an opera house) attract tourists – some of whom arrive on vintage railroad excursions.

In October of 1907, Frieda received a postcard from her friend, Anna M. Krachenfels.

Anna wrote from New Haven, the college town on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in Connecticut.

The face of the postcard bears a photograph of the “New Haven Green”.

Like many towns of New England, the colonial settlement of New Haven grew up around a “Commons” or “Green”.

The reverse of the postcard had an “undivided back” – leaving no place for a message.

On the face, Anna reports that “mother was pleased with your card”.

Anna expresses a hope that “all are well” and sends “Love from sister Lena.”

One hopes that Frieda was delighted by the pleasant scene and that these folks (with German names and surnames ) were happy and successful in the early years of the twentieth century.
