How oft as children we try,
To find the pot of gold;
That rests beneath the rainbow's tips,
And doth such treasures hold.
The postmark date is mostly obscured. I think it's from the 1910s, though.The card was postmarked in and mailed to Sandyville, West Virginia, an unicorporated community in the northwestern part of the state. Its most notable structure may be the Sarvis Fork Covered Bridge, which dates to 1889.
The postcard was mailed to Miss Genevieve Owens. This is what the cursive note states, to the best of my deciphering skills:
Hello Girlie:-how are you? What are you doing these nice days? Why don't you come up and play with me? I am busy all the time. Can't get time to take a visit, nor even ride the ponys if I had a chance. I am homesick to see you, and hope I shall soon.
No name is signed. As far as the addressee, there was a Genevieve Owens who lived from 1928 to 2018 in that general part of West Virginia, but I'm not sure if it's the same one. And it would put my postmark guess way off and mean this card was from the mid 1930s or later (which I suppose is possible).
