Description

This postcard features two black and white images of churches in Senatobia, Mississippi. The image on the left is of the Methodist church, a small, one story building with arched windows and decorative molding above the windows on the side of the church. A bell tower topped by a steeple is in the front center above the arched entrance. Bare trees are in front. The second image is of the Baptist church, a white, one story building with a tall set of stairs at the front porch entrance and arched windows. A tower with arched windows is on the right, front corner of the church. Trees are seen on either side of the church. The titles for the images are printed beneath the individual images and the town is printed in the center of the bottom edges of the two images. The back of the card is addressed to Mrs. I Charpsteen in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The card is postmarked Senatobia, Miss., September 13, 1910 and a red, two cent George Washington postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner. An inscription is written sideways on the left half of the card. [see transcription field]
