The postcard was sent to Dr. R.A. Blackshear of Panhandle Texas in December 1908. He is being thanked by R E Mobley (sister)for watching their daughter Ruby.I googled Dr. R A Blackshear and I found a great story about him having a nightmare and from that nightmare discovering gold. He was also called oil crazy as he believed there was an abundance of oil in the area although I don&#039;t think he was believed.Oil was discovered two years before his death.I&#039;ve attached the postcard and the newspaper article relating to it. I really love old postcards and the history that&#039;s behind them.I found this one to have such an interesting story.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve edited to try and get the photos a little better.
