Gunness is thought to have killed at least fourteen people, most of whom were men she enticed to visit her rural Indiana property on the promise of marriage, while some sources speculate her involvement in as many as forty murders.Gunness seemingly died in a fire in 1908, but it is popularly believed that she faked her death. Her actual fate is unconfirmed.
Interesting! And nice that your postcard has a photographer's name, too. They were probably reprinting an older photo (since she apparently died in 1908), but it's still good to have the photographer ID.
