Happy New Year to Amanda Weaver – 1912

On this site, one can find a Christmas postcard given to Amanda Weaver by a classmate circa 1910.

In December of 1912, Amanda received a New Year’s postcard.

The postcard, printed in Germany, was mailed from Lititz, Pennsylvania.

It appears that Amanda, who was once in Bird-in-hand, is now in care of Clayton Myers of Lititz.

We don’t know if Amanda was living with a relative or if she had become a “hired girl” to assist with household tasks or farm chores.

The postcard features a small, framed winter scene before a large spray of holly, and the image of a clock at midnight.
