This is a 1909 postcard that my Grandfather (W.J.
"Will" McGill) sent to my Grandmother while he was playing
baseball in Oklahoma during 1909. He was also courtin' my Grandmother
(Constance Estella Warwick), and going around the country ordering
& shipping furniture for/to the McGill Bros. Furniture Store in
Alva, Oklahoma (Woods County).
Will McGill is the tall, good-looking, lanky fellow
on the back row -- third from the left. He was a pitcher for the Austin
Senators in 1906 and known for his fast, curve balls. If anyone knows
about this Big "G" (?Guthrie?) baseball team, please
don't be shy! EMAIL Linda
(aka Oakie).
It is addresses to Miss Constance Warwick, Denver,
Colo., GD (General Delivery), It has Guthrie, Oklahoma postmark
on it of Aug 21, 1909. AND... Colorado Springs, CO postmarks of
Aug 24, 30th, and Sept 24th.
The message reads as follows: "Have won both
games since my return. Feeling fine. Hope you are thusly. -- Mc."
