Abstract
Album of Ruth Ramsey's postcard correspondence from 1910-1918. Correspondence is generally addressed to Ruth in Penbro, Pickens,
or Helvetia, West Virginia (WV), in Randolph and Webster Counties, though the 1918 postcards show her address in Cleveland,
Ohio. Correspondents include her sister Alma, friends, and other relatives. Subjects of correspondence include writing, travels,
health, and daily life. Postcard images include city landmarks in Buckhannon, Clarksburg, Elkins, Moorefield, Parkersburg,
and Wheeling, WV. There are also postcards from Washington, D.C., Cumberland, Maryland, and other states. A few cards feature
images of railroads, and one of a steamship. There is one 1918 postcard from Private Robert Underwood, who was in France with
the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) during World War I. See Historical Note for additional details.
