I have a feeling I’m not the only one in my family who liked ephemera (fancy scraps of paper). Someone kept this note from the 1910’s (the date spot is “191_”, made for used between 1910-1919). Luster Roberts was born 1897 in rural Kentucky. I don’t know if these are his calculations, however this more than 100 year-old piece of scrap paper shows a picture of country life back when mail was delivered by horse and wagon.

Document is in the writer’s collection.
