Before moving his family to Minot, North Dakota, John Franklin Crites operated a steam boat on Lake Wawasee near North Webster, Indiana. This postcard was among the family records kept by Mildred Crites Fecht in Snohomish, Washington. The card was shared with this Crites Family Photographs blog by Genevieve Rebbe.
The Epworth League is a youth organization founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church. The League founded an outdoor retreat camp on the banks of Lake Webster, near North Webster around 1923. John Franklin Crites returned to Indiana for a winter visit about that time.
