Gladys: Dec 19,1921 J.G.W. Burglund; Dec. 23, 1921 Fort Wayne Ind.

Dear Friends,
I hope this post finds you well.
I suppose your wondering why two people?
As you will see they are postcards around Christmas time. I didn't put where the first one was sent  from and it is hard to read the second postmark but luckily he wrote where it was from. They are short so I decided to show you two. Just think of it as Christmas in July.

This is a new person, Gladys. Right now I do not have a last name for you. There might have been two different ones that wrote. Here is what this one says.
Wishing you &
your folks a
very Merry Xmas
& a Happy
New Year
From
Gladys

Here is the second one.

Actually this one might have been written by the brother Harry, but it is from both of them.

Dear Cousin Howard,
Heartiest seasons greetings
to yourself and all the family.
May Christ Himself be your
satisfying portion and more
to you than gifts of seasons,
in my prayers.Romans 5:1 John
14; 27. best regards from Wm
and myself. Your cousin Harry

A couple of the words were a little hard to make out for me. Maybe you will be able to correct me if you can.
Since it's Christmas in July here are a few winter pictures for you to enjoy, especially if you are some where it is a little to warm for your taste.

  This is the farm where the Burglund's lived.

This could just be the first Charlie Brown tree. What do you think?

This is their cousin Lois Marie, my uncle Peter, uncle George and my dad Clement. I'm not sure exactly how old they were at this time.

My dad pulling his brothers and sister. Anyone for a sled ride?

Well that's about all I have to share with you today. I hope you enjoyed my little trip into Christmas in July.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
Your friend,
Sandy

J.G.W. Berglund: Nov. 26, 1921 Fort Wayne, Ind.

Dear Friends,
I hope this post finds you well and about ready to enjoy the 4th of July weekend. I know I am.
This next letter is from J.G.W. Berglund. I do remember him some. I don't think he was ever married.

As always here is what it says:

                   Bible training School
                   Fort Wayne, Ind.
                   November 26, 1921
Dear Cousin Howard,
                                By this time I
believe you have received the Bible
sent to you by Harry and me, and
I trust you have also read some
portion and perchance memorized
a verse or two.
     My prayer and wish is, that
this may be an infinite blessing
to you during life. Remember it is
only as you read consistently and
prayerfully that you become fully
acquainted with the author Jesus Christ.
     Make this verse yours Palm 1119:11
then you will rejoice with me
in knowing Him.
     I shall mail you some pictures
later on when they are developed.
Best wishes from Harry and me.
He and I together bought this Bible
for you.      Most sincerely
                    J.G.W. Berglund


I wonder what happened to the Bible that they gave to grandpa?
I always knew him as Bill Berglund.
Here is a picture of him.

I also found a picture of the Bible Training School.

It's had a number of different names over the years. Now it is Crossroads Bible College.

Looking through the pictures I found a picture of Harry.

I'm not sure when this was taken. I don't think I ever met him.

Here are a couple of pictures in honor of the 4th of July.

I remember when they had the mailboxes painted like this.

I'm not sure when it was taken or why only half the picture is here. Eventually I will posting letters from these two young ladies, I think.

Well that's all I have for you this time.
Once again I hope you have a very enjoyable 4th of July weekend and stay safe.
As always,
Sandy
