“Woman receives 100-year-old postcard”
Brittany Keech received an unusual postcard in her mailbox this week.
It was more than a hundred years old, postmarked October 29, 1920.
“I was shocked,” said Keech.
The postcard was addressed to Mrs. Roy McQueen and written by her cousin Flossie Burgess.
“Dear cousins,” the letter starts. “We are quite well but mother has awful lame knees. It is awful cold here.”
The post office says sometimes letters and postcards get stuck in machinery or under floorboards.
“We’ve all seen mail get delayed for weeks, but 100 years, that’s a piece of history,” said Keech.
