My great grandfather was born and raised in Esperance, NY. Back in 1892, when he was born there weren't the common lines of communication that we have today. I'm fairly sure that they didn't have a telephone and that the quickest, surest way of communication was a postcard. There was a photo album of some of these postcards that were traded between Granddad Gage and his family. My grandmother scanned these years ago, and there are some pretty neat scenes of turn of the century Esperance, NY.
