The Last of the Whole Dam Family (Obituary)

The Last of the Whole Dam Family (Obituary)
"The New York Evening. Obituary. The sudden end of the whole Dam family came as a shock to the public last Saturday. They were the most popular and widely known family in the United States on account of their unfortunate name. 'Too much notoriety,' is rumored to have killed the Dam family. The only thing that survives them is the dog, who eventually will see his finish as a Coney Island frankfurter."

For more information, see the full postcard: The Last of the Whole Dam Family. Or take a look at The Whole Dam Family Postcard Craze, 1905.
