Sharon High School Postcard (1909)
Post Card dated 13th August 1909, sent by Mary Maude (Campbell) Collinson (1874-1944), on holiday in Sharon, Pennsylvania to Elizabeth Ann (Rowlands) Thomas at 1924-9th Street, Altoona, Pennsylvania. This was 4 days after the birth of William Rowland Thomas (1909-1994), Elizabeth Ann's son.
Mary Maude was the wife of Francis David Collinson (1863-1940). Their daughter, Florence Madeline was born 31st January 1906 and baptised at the First United Methodist Church in Altoona. As there is no shared Welsh connection between the families, their friendship was perhaps due to their membership of this church, where William Rowland was also baptised in September 1909.
