"Old Lutheran Church and Cemetry, Middletown, Pa."

Printed on the back of this real photo postcard: "Post Card, genuine photograph, manufactured by J. K. Baum, Middletown, Pa."

The Azo stamp box (diamonds in corners) on the other side suggests a date that may be as early as 1907-1909.

Handwritten message on back (no address, stamp, or postmark): "From Mildred Mae Fager [to] Miss Amanda Ebersole. Here you can see part of Middletown."

This church still stands along North Union Street in Middletown today and is known as St. Peter's Kierch or St. Peter's Church.
