MN1094 CARBERRY - T.E.H. NELSON'S RESIDENCE

POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Not Posted.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: I was really pleased with myself for picking this card out of a bargain bin - noticing the small handwritten note in the bottom border "Carberry Man". After bringing it home, and doing a web search, I learned that Carberry was indeed home to a Mr. T.E.H. (Tommy) Nelson. Mr. Nelson farmed a property previously owned by a John Stinson. He was a Councillor from the town of Carberry from 1918-1921. I also found an online image of his tombstone in the Carberry Cemetary, The inscription reads:
