PostCard Talk by Mary Katherine May (babamarusia)

On March 10, 1914, there was a lunar eclipse, which the writer of this postcard in St. Paul, Minnesota, dated March 14, 1914, mentions in her note mailed to Chicago, IL. The sender says also that he (or she) will be going to a matinee to see Johnny Valentine. This would not be the famous wrestler of same name because he was born in 1928, and this postcard is from 1914. It may be John Valentine Eppel, who authored the melody used for the song, The Missouri Waltz.

On March 10, 1914, the New York Times ran an article about the lunar eclipse event that would happen on March 11, 1914. The eclipse was "visible from all points in Western Europe, North and South America and Western Africa, and ...more than nine-tenths in shadow. Astronomers went to work during the eclipse because clearer observations of objects in space are possible.
