With the Arts and Crafts Movement in full swing at the time, we bring you this simple, Christmas greeting postcard sent from Chicago, Illinois to Miss Ella O’Connor in Truxton, Cortland County, New York on December 20th, 1915.
The hand printed, personal message on the back of the card reads: “I hope you folks don’t think I have forgotten you. Give my best wishes to all and I wish you all a Merry Xmas. John O’Meary.”
The Northeast News would like to thank our readers, advertisers and sponsors for their continued support through 2023. Happy holidays folks, enjoy the season.

For 26 years, Michael has been the Publisher of Kansas City’s Northeast News. His journey at Northeast News began when he became the President of the Scarritt Renaissance neighborhood, serving two terms totaling ten years.
In 1996, Michael left his corporate communications job to become the Executive Director of the Northeast Chamber of Commerce. During this time, he discovered the local community newspaper was for sale.
In 1998, Michael and his wife Christine bought The Northeast News, turning it into a community news source. In 2021, Michael transitioned the publication from for-profit to non-profit, securing its future and opening doors to grants and sponsorships for non-profit newsrooms.
Outside of community reporting, Michael and Chris enjoy traveling in their toy hauler with their Harley and News Dog, Ella the Destroyer.
