Harriet Julia Camp Baird

In the box of loose photos and scrapbook pages, I found an envelope with the name Harriet on it. This Harriet was Harriet Julia Camp Baird and this is what I found inside:

Harriet Julia Camp Baird on the right

 and her cousin Katharine Rose Schnack Jones Gall Hammon on the left.

I think this is a school picture of a young Harriet but there is nothing written on the back and I have no other identified photo to compare it to.  It was in the envelope marked Harriet.

 I'm guessing this is Pike's Peak in Colorado.

On the reverse side of this one is written, "Sunday 1953 Harriet at Schnacks."

Harriet Julia Camp
Christmas 1958

Harriet was the daughter of Leonard George and Beatrice May Rose Camp.  Beatrice, also known as Bea, was the sister of my grandmother, Olive Letha Rose Schnack. 

In another box of memorabilia, I found:

Unsourced newspaper clipping

You might remember Beatrice writing many letters to her sister, Olive, about this darling little girl!

The following postcards were in the envelope with Harriet's name on it.  I've added them in order of postmark dates.

 This postcard picture is from Silver Springs, Florida.  Harriet was impressed with the reptile farm and was looking forward to their next tourist attraction, Six Gun Territory.

Hi Auntie Olie and Uncle Walt,

The beautiful flowers are summer poinsettias and are they ever pretty.  We had a beautiful trip in glass bottom boats.  They cruise down Silver River where we saw wild pigs, monkeys, and alligators.  We also toured Ross Allen Reptile Farm and watched them milk a rattler.

Tomorrow Six Gun territory and then home.

Love,
Jim, Harriet, and David

 This postcard picture is from Stone Mountain, Georgia.  On the reverse side, Harriet tells Olive about their plans to camp at Ocala National Forest in Florida.

Hi Aunt Olie and Uncle Walt,

This has been a beautiful camp area for a week.  The Confederate carving of Lee, Jackson, and Davis is here; absolutely stunning.  We are going to camp in Ocala National Forest for a couple days.

Love, Harriet
