Description

Waupun Wisconsin Interior View St. Joseph's Catholic Church 1908 Postcard 27135. Waupun Wisconsin Interior View St. Joseph's Catholic Church 1908 Postcard 27135 This postcard shows the elaborately decorated interior of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Waupun, Wisconsin. The photograph captures the sanctuary with ornate altars, intricate carvings, and religious statuary, including central figures of angels and saints. The vaulted ceiling and decorative arches enhance the grandeur of the church's design, conveying a strong sense of reverence and craftsmanship. The reverse side is postmarked from Waupun, Wisconsin, on May 22, 1908, and is addressed to Miss Myrtle Reynolds in Oakfield, Wisconsin. The handwritten message, signed "The Kid," cheerfully shares local events: a dance in town, a circus the previous night, and plans for another dance that evening. The sender adds a warm tone, mentioning that everyone is well and gently reminding Myrtle not to forget something important, though the handwriting becomes somewhat unclear at the end. The card was published by the Souvenir Post Card Co. of Waupun.
