Better late than never

Dec 17 2007

A postcard featuring a colour drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in 1914, but just arrived in  Kansas.

The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.

It's a mystery where it spent most of the last century, Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said. "It's surprising that it never got thrown away. How someone found it, I don't know."
