A Halloween postcard addressed on the other side to "Master Carroll Troxell, Detour, Md., c/o Lester Troxell," and postmarked in Taneytown, Md., on October 29, 1914. The message is: "From Ruth & John, 10-27-14."
I believe that the artist's signature is A. Heinmüller (visible just below the feather duster), but I've also seen it transcribed as A. Meinmüller, Meinmüller, and Aleinmüller.
Hallowe'en Joys
If ye ride a jack pumpkin at twelve-o'-night
With a witch's wand for a horse,
The wicked creatures flee at the sight,
And die hard, from sheer remorse.
A. Heinmüller
