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.

Virginia Tech was not the worst school massacre in U.S. history. This was.
That spring morning in 1927 could not have been more beautiful, one of the students would later recall. The Bath Consolidated School just outside East Lansing, Mich., was holding final exams, but before the morning bell rang on May 18, 1927, children ran and played outside. Peals of laughter could be heard.
