This postcard was sent from Gettysburg in 1960! The Jenny Wade story is a sad one....
It says on the back-
Miss Jenny Wade was killed the morning of July 3rd, while attending to household duties in a little brick house on Baltimore Street near the National Cemetery. She was the only citizen of Gettysburg who was killed during the battle. The house is now used as a war museum, and shows hundreds of marks of bullets and shell. The monument marks the last resting place in the Citizen's Cemetery.
