Backstamped "Forksville, PA NOV 17, 1911 REC'D"



Example is on a 1¢ Franklin 2nd class stamped envelope Scott #U400. The church name "M. E."


stands for "Methodist Episcopal" and was in common usage 100 years ago.


The sender, Major R.H. Hendershot, was a vaudeville performer and personality of the time.


He performed in churches as well as in halls & theatres. This cover would indicate that


he paid for the use of churches by making donations to church sponsored youth groups.
