A Grandfather's Legacy
1909 Penny Postcard - Sapulpa, Oklahoma Oilfield
(Grandpa Continues Baseball & Courtin' Constance)
This
is an interesting postcard dated August 27th, 1909 depicting an Oil Field
around Sapulpa, Oklahoma oilfiled view.
The wooden derricks and tanks are scattered over the hillside. I'm not
quite sure what part of Sapulpa it was taken.
Backside of Sapulpa Ppostcard
The
backside of this postcard was sent to my Granny, Constance Warwick, and
it shows a postmark of August 27, 1909, 2-PM, Sapulpa, Oklahoma. It was addressed to Miss Constance Warwick, Alva, Oklahoma.
It reads, "Am looking for a missive. We lost today for
the first time in long while. I work tomorrow. Ever, WJ"
