Old Postcards - NW Oklahoma....

We found a few old postcards for you this week. This photo postcard shows a young Woods County, Oklahoma girl dressed in a white dress, stockings and heels. We believe it is a photo of Ora F. Mosshart, because on the back of the postcard there is a message from Ora Mosshart wishing a "Merry Xmas and Happy New Year" to our Great-Grandmother, Mrs. J. R. "Signora Belle" Warwick, Alva, OK.

History of April Fools' Day

"The origins of April Fool's Day are unknown, although various theories have been proposed. It is considered to be related to the festival of the vernal equinox, which occurs on March 21. Prior to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, it was observed as New Year's Day by cultures as far apart as ancient Rome and India. New Year was originally celebrated from March 25 to April 1, before the Gregorian reforms moved it back to January 1.
