Favorite old photo: Christian Church Women's Home 2011-11-13 - 942 S. Fourth Street, Louisville, KY - Photo from collection of Marshall Chelf. Ruby Chelf of Knifley, KY, received a postcard receipt with this photo on the front in June 1949, to acknowledge the gift of $9.00 to the Christian Church Widows and Orphans Home of Kentucky. There's a 1 cent cancelled stamp on the back. The legend says, "Christian Church Women's Home, 942 So. 4th St., Louisville 3, Ky. THis HOme which provides for more than one hundred dependent women is supported by the Christian Church of Kentucky and individual friends. We are grateful for your part in this worth cause." The card was sent June 2, 1949, and had a Knifley cancellation on June 3, 1949. Bob Chelf of Carmel, Indiana, located the card, which is part of a collection put together by the late Marshall Chelf, a World War II veteran and one time proprietor of what is now Baker's Grocery in Knifley, KY, which traces its lineage from the L.R. Chelf General Store. Permalink | Comments?
