Abstract

This collection consists of material, spanning from 1911 to the 1960s, relating to the Rayne and Dennis Family. Included are a bundle postcards from 1911 to 1920s, mostly addressed to Myrtle Rayne from family and friends - most notably, her future husband David W. Dennis, cousin Willis Clark and Edward C. Smith, all who served in WWI. In addition, there are several photographs, including a black-and-white photograph labeled "The Millpond 1946," depicting young people on a frozen pond, b/w and color photographs of two boys at a bridge and possible a scenic photograph of Cypress Knee on the Pocomoke River as well as group photograph of the Whites Chapel Methodist Church Homecoming and a colored photograph of Powellville Grist Mill. The collection also contains a potholder advertising W. Howard Dennis gas station in Powellville, MD and several 1938 Dave Dennis strawberry picking coupons in quantities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 50 quarts.
