Description
For your consideration I have a fine and scarce grouping of real photo postcards of the Dorland-Bell School which was once a mission school in
Hot Springs, North Carolina. These postcards and the letter included belonged to Mary King Collings who taught at the school in the early part of the 20th century.
There are a total of five exceptional RPPC postcards showing Mary and fellow students or facility entertaining in international festivities.
*This listing follows a photo album I sold on this school that belonged to Mary a few weeks ago on E-Bay.
This lot came from an archive associated with the Collings/Kirker family of Adams Co., Ohio, including: Archive of materials from the Kirker-Collings-Gibson family of Adams Co., Ohio, from just before statehood to the end of the 20th century. Two of the progenitors of this clan are James R. Gibson and his wife, Martha King Gibson.
The Gibsons had at least three children, J. King Gibson, Mary King Gibson and Alice Gibson. Marymarried C.E. (Charles Evans) Kirker and they had George Gibson Kirker and Alice Kirker Charles. Alice Gibson married Henry Collings. Their offspring included Henry Davis Collings, George Gibson Collings (1888-1890) and Mary King Collings. George Collingsrican war (brother?) (1800-1862) married Jane Collings. Their offspring included George E. Collings (1839-1882), who married Harriet A. Collings. Their son was Ralph Collings. This archive appears to have been accumulated and come through Mary King Collings, who, it appears never married.
Please take a moment to examine my other items from this archive currently listed in my shop. ~Thank you.
