    The Last Campaign of Henry F. Schaible

    Today's find is an oversized card with a handwritten note from Henry F. Schaible, a longtime Kansas City, Kansas politician. At first glance, it looks like a simple piece of campaign ephemera. But once I read the message and began researching, the story, of course, became much bigger. From grocery store owner to city councilman to street commissioner, Schaible's life unfolded one newspaper clipping at a time. This episode follows the trail. Not to decide who Henry Schaible was, but to see how one curious postcard opened a window into nearly fifty years of local politics and the people who shaped it.

    The Day Mary Sold Lucy

    The front of this 1913 postcard wishes someone a happy birthday. The back tells a very different story.  Mary writes of illness, moving, and the emotional pain of selling "Lucy." She did like to kick after all.

    Dear Norma...Love, Nita

    A portrait tucked inside a portrait folder keepsake came with something even more personal. A handwritten note from Nita to her friend, Norma.  Without knowing what became of either woman, their words still preserve a friendship important enough to save.

    The Letter That Matched Navy History

    In a hat box full of ephemera I'd purchased some time ago, I found a letter mailed from the U.S.S. Iowa in December 1899. It led me to wonder how much of it could actually be confirmed.  What began as a family letter became a story matching documented Navy history, connecting one sentence from the sailor's own words to the battleship's movements more than 125 years ago.

    Ramsay Dry Goods, La Junta - 1907

    A stained postcard mailed from La Junta, Colorado in 1907 led me to, a woman named Celia, a job at Ramsay Dry Goods Company, and one sentence that stood out: "I'm not much pleased with town." Writing about how she worked at Ramsay Dry Goods Co. gave me something I could confirm. In the end, the biggest question wasn't about Ramsay Dry Goods at all. It was whether the city was really the problem of which we'll never know.

    Nelda Jaeger Of Tacoma - The Woman They Called Judge

    A postcard from 1915, addressed to Judge Nelda Jaeger, led me in search of the woman behind the title. What emerged was the story of an attorney, temporary judge, & public figure whose life was far more complex than the newspaper headlines suggested.  From court cases & elections to family memories shared decades later, this episode explores the public record side & how it doesn't necessarily match the personal recollections of memories past.
