Back of picture post card This card is difficult to read, but in general, she is saying that she must have more pictures made for other family members and bring them when she comes to visit. Looks like one for Idy, one for Wesley and one for Edd.
Edd & Wesley would be her brothers, Jesse Edgar "Edd" Atwood and John Wesley, my grand-uncles. Wesley died in 1917, by then Melie was divorced from Albert Lee McNabb and married to Columbus Washington Norman. The next 3 cards were sent to me by Helen (Atwood) Greenwood Helen is the daughter of Edgar Lee & VohnZella (Easley) Atwood; granddaughter of Jesse Edgar "Edd" & Mary Susan Miranda "Susie" (Newton) Atwood and great-granddaughter of Bell & Nathan Atwood. Her Aunt Neva Sue Ann (Atwood) McWilliams has perserved the cards since her parents (Edd & Susie) died.
Helen is my 2nd cousin and Neva Sue is my 1st cousin, once removed. Thanks Helen and Neva.
