Louisa Davis Ker

Yesterday I had the privilege of looking through a shoebox full of postcards from 1902 to 1908.  They were addressed to Louisa Davis Ker (1887-1964).

Louisa would be age 17 to 22 in this time period.  She was the daughter of Henry Claude Ker and Emily Josephine Marvel.  She was born in Delmar.  Her father was a preacher for the Old School Baptist and he would live in New York state and New Jersey before returning to Delmar.

Many of the post cards were signed Ernest or just "ER".  Ernest was Ernest Remley (1885-1949) whom she would marry in July of 1909.  Ernest lived in the Orange and Nutley, NJ area so many of the cards are from this area.  Ernest would eventually become a Pharmacist.  They would have two children Robert and Emily.  In 1930 They moved to Austin,Texas where the marriage failed and they got a divorce in 1932. 

Louisa would end up back in Salisbury where she worked as a saleswoman at Hess Apparel and Benjamins.  Her daughter would marry and move to New Jersey where her mother would live with her until her death in 1964.  She is buried in Snow Hill and also Ernest is buried in Snow Hill.
