- 1913 picture postcard: a message from a postcard sent to George Albert and Margaret Brownbridge's cousins: Bernice and Marion Colegrove (daughters of Lena (Hardenbrook) Brownbridge's sister, Edith) in Arapaho, Oklahoma. It was mailed from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas on April 3, 1913.
- The same postcard (front and back) sent to their dad, Lawrence, who was in "Athabaska Landing, Alberta, Canada" on April 5, 1913. We assume that Lena and the children were travelling to Canada to join Lawrence. We don't know if they went to Alberta or Saskatchewan at this time or how they travelled.
