Content
This collection consists of material related to the Wait family of Pulaski County, Kentucky, most having to do with the personal and business pursuits of Cyrenius Wait (1791-1868). Folder 4 includes two postcards from soldiers serving in World War I and World War II, respectively. The first, dated October 8, 1917, is addressed to Perry Wait in Somerset, Kentucky, from Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where the first trainees—National Guardsmen from Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia—made up the 38th Division. The second postcard, dated April 26, 1945, is addressed from “Brownie” to Margaret Tuttle in Versailles, Kentucky.
