Sunday Strays - FREETHY, GRIFFITHS


Another stray postcard from my collection - this time a North Vancouver scenic card, set from Nanaimo to Koksilah, BC. 




Written to "Ada" in May 1913 by "your loving husband, Richard" and addressed to "Mrs Griffiths, c/o Mrs Ferneyhough, Koksilah Hotel".

Koksilah was a station on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo (E&N) Railway about 40 miles from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Mrs. Ferneyhough (Minnie) was the postmistress, and, according to the 1910 census and directory, her husband William ran the hotel. 



Richard and Ada (Freethy) were married in Duncan on Vancouver Island in 1912. 
Love the xxx xxx s.  And the flourish in his handwriting.
