While going through old papers of my Grandmothers and ran across this “memoriam’” sent to my Grandmother when her brother, Frank Shupe, passed away. [March 24, 1921]It’s printed on a 3x5 card with a black border – and was mailed in an envelope with a black border. By the way – postage was 2 cents! I hope a transcription of the names it contains will be helpful to others as it also contains names of many people living in Loyal, Wisconsin at that time.
