Postcard from Home

June 10, 2012 by Charlie London

The Historic New Orleans Collection posted this postcard on their FACEBOOK page and has this to say about it:

“This postcard is for Patricia, who requested images of the church of Notre Dame de Bon Secours on Jackson Ave. One of the three churches of the Irish Channel, Notre Dame was built by French residents and was demolished in 1925 after it was heavily damaged in a 1918 hurricane.”

Today’s POSTCARD from HOME is a bit unusual. The sender of the postcard described it as… “The newest thing in souvenir post cards which squares me financially but still leaves me hopelessly indebted in every other way.”

The crosses you see on the postcard held coins.

The Sunday Postcard from Home will be steering to a bit of a deviation from the local emphasis it’s had in the past.

President Warren G. Harding was born November 2. 1865 in Blooming Grove, Ohio. He was a member of the Ohio State Senate from 1900-1904, was Lt. Governor of Ohio from 1904-1906 and a United States Senator from 1915-1921. Inaugurated President of the United States March 4, 1921.


Dean Burridge would like to add:

“Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, one of the first African-Americans to hold a national office was appointed by President Warren Harding as Comptroller of (U.S. ) Customs. At the time, the New York Times referred to the office as “one of the most lucrative federal offices” in the South. Later Cohen became the founder and president of the People’s Life Insurance Company in New Orleans, a large industrial company whose clients were African-Americans. Cohen was a member of Corpus Christi Catholic Church in New Orleans. He died in New Orleans and is interred here at St. Louis Cemetery III. The Walter L. Cohen Senior High School in Uptown is named in his honor.”
