This postcard depicts the Furlow Public School in Americus, Georgia, which received a renovation and expansion designed by G.L. Norrman in 1890.
Published by the American News Company of New York and printed in Germany, the card was postmarked in 1908 and addressed to Marie Smetzer of “808 S. West Grand Ave., Springfield, Ill.”
Corrine from nearby Plains, Georgia, wrote the following note on the back:
“Recd card many thanks.
Hope you will like this one
Come soon again”
Not very eloquent, but that’s a Sumter County education for you. Trust me, I know.
