Calling card of Rhoda Loantha Hale (1872-1954) of Carleton County, New Brunswick. This card is one of a large collection of 19th century calling cards from the abutting counties of Carleton County, New Brunswick, and Aroostook County, Maine, with some from Piscataquis County, Maine, perhaps because of the railroad.
Surnames in the collection - some appear multiple times
Exterior of Rhoda's card:
From brief online research, hopefully correct - corrections and additions requested:
Rhoda Loantha Hale (1872-1954) was born 23 April 1872 in Northampton, Carleton County, New Brunswick, the daughter of William Hale (1829-1891) and Esther E. (Tedlie) Hale (1835-1920). The calling cards of Rhoda's brother, Ernest William Hale (1868-1907) and William Hale, possibly her father William Hale, are included in the collection.
Rhoda would marry 3 times:
