Engine Number 30 at the Grangers' Picnic, Cumberland Valley Railroad Yards, Williams Grove, Pa., 1916

Engine Number 30 at the Grangers' Picnic, Cumberland Valley Railroad Yards, Williams Grove, Pa., 1916
Caption on the front of this postcard: "C.V.R.R. Yards, Williams Grove, Pa."

Printed on the back: "14546 - Pub. by A. M. Deichler, Lancaster, Pa., for J. Hurst Est., Mechanicsburg, Pa."

Postmarked Mechanicsburg, Pa., Aug. 30, 1918, and addressed to Miss Grace Hoy, 730 S. Duke St., York, Pa.

Handwritten message: "Dear Cousin, Expected to see you at the Grove but failed to see you there. Such a crowd of people I never seen as was there on Thursday. All well. Hope this will find you all the same. Emma."

A photographic version of this scene appeared in "Grangers at the Grove: Annual Farmers Exhibition Ended Nearly a Century Ago," a newpaper article by Joseph Cress, which was published in The Sentinel (Carlisle, Pa.), Sept. 5, 2015. "Engine Number 30 arrives in Williams Grove during the Grangers' Picnic in 1916" was the caption of the photographic version, which was provided by the Cumberland County Historical Society.
