Description: Postcards (1910-1917) addressed to Mr. and/or Mrs. Wilbert .A. Rice, Mrs. Clara Rice, Mrs. Caddie Rice. Correspondence is not remarkable, just brief notes inquiring about the weather, health, visits; birthdays (September and March) and many holiday greetings from family and friends on pretty, mostly seasonal and birthday postcards. A few are of practical matters. These are 1 cent postage stamps (until 1917) so the centuries old “a penny for your thoughts” expression comes to mind. About 100 postcards total; only 2 scanned. An April 15, 1910 Bar harbor Record newspaper article relates Clara was rescued from a boating accident off GCI. Clara Rice was postmistress on Sutton Island in the Cranberry Isles. She may have married a Fernald, then Charles Edward Bunker, and then wed Wilbert Augustus Rice in 1893. There are three houses in a row connected to Clara Rice including the donor's house on Sutton. There is also a collection of clipped 1 cent stamps in a 1919 envelope, and two stereoscopic cards (not scanned).
