July 14, 1915. To Mrs. M. J. Vann, Fayetteville, NC. Can you guess who this is driving the real live ostrich? There were five hundred of them on the farm where this picture was taken on Hilsboro Street.

The two above are the front and back of a postcard found in a family photo album. James Vann of Sampson Co who relocated to Cumberland Co between 1860 (in Sampson co) and 1870 (in Cumberland Co) was the father of Virginia Vann. In 1880, he is shown on census records to be married to a Mary J Vann. We are trying to determine if that wife is who the card was sent to and who is in the photo in the buggy.
