by Wm. Johnson minister of the N.E. Church. Jane Suthpin is listed
as the mother for Mary, and Matilde (Matilda?) McMillion was listed
as the mother of Richard. No fathers are listed for Richard or Mary
(both born in 1856, Richard in Raleigh and Mary in Monroe County)

looks to be ca1910-1920 and is the old post card type, is written:
"Maggie is sending this to you. These are her children Robert
