Description: This is a 1910s era University of Chicago postcard, posted, with correspondence. It depicts the Harper Memorial Library. It was sent to the family of RussellJones of Topeka and it was from Alan Lee who was a student there at the time. See below for some interesting historical information about Russell Jones’ wife Marie. I found the postcard at the Evanston, Illinois estate of Robert Russell Jones (son of Russell Jones) originally of Topeka Kansas, Jones had a successful career in journalism, culminating in him being anppointed editor of Industrial Research magazine. His work at Industrial Research is what brought him and his family to Chicago. His wife was the author Dorothy V. Jones. Robert Russell Jones’ grandmother, Molly Strawn Carter (Russell Jones’ wife) was the great great granddaughter of the Potawatomi missionary Robert Simerwell. Her great grandmother was Elizabeth Simerwell Carter, the first non-indigenous female born in Kansas. As far as I can tell, Molly and John did not attend the Exposition. They likely received it from Molly’s sister. The card is in good vintage condition, note that there is some staining, corner wear, and edge wear. Look at all of my postcards! I am happy to combine shipping. Just ask either before or after your purchase. It all works,
