Victor Berry lived in Galt, a small city in north-central Missouri.
The town was platted in 1881 when the railroad reached the area.
Unfortunately, the height of population was reached in 1890; today, the city is only a third of the size that it was in 1910.

Sometime around 1910, Victor was celebrating a birthday.
He received a very nice postcard greeting from friends or neighbors, Alma and Will.
The postcard was not mailed, which might suggest that the senders lived nearby.
On the face, deeply-embossed blossoms frame a wooded scene.
A pair of birds are perched above the legend, “Birthday Greetings”.
In pencil, the initials, “W.D.”, might be a further clue to the senders.
On the reverse, Alma and Will ask how Victor is doing and express a wish for “a Happy Birthday”.
One hopes Victor enjoyed the day; he seems to have treasured the postcard throughout his life.
