Happy Easter from St. Georges, Delaware 1922
Information found on Find-A-Grave, shows multiple Harry Battons interred in St. Georges Cemetery in New Castle County, Delaware. I believe the owner of this card (on loan to Passed Time from a friend who has Batton's scrapbook) was Harold M. Batton (1914-1969).* The postmark is dated 1922 which aligns with Batton's dates, putting him at eight-years-old when he received this card.
At the time of the 1930 census. Batton was living in the home of his grandmother, Hannah E. Swan, a 71-year- old widow. I found little else about the family but for a fun read about St. Georges, I recommend Ye Towne of St. Georges "Buildings and Homes"--Jubart "1744" Plot Plan by Gladys B. Lester. The publication shows a picture of a home owned by a Harry Batten, As the booklet was published in 1997, it could not be this Harry Batten but may be a relative.
Thinking that perhaps the two women who sent the card were teachers, I went through the Directory of Delaware schools to try to find Miss Claren and had no luck. I will not attempt to find "Mrs. Mary" for obvious reasons, but perhaps a reader has some insight. Enjoy, Pat March 26, 2016
*A young Harry wrote "Harry M. Batten," in pencil on the inner cover.
