Description
This sepia-toned postcard features a front view of the Grace Nettleton Home at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. Established in 1900, the Home was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Franklin E. Nettleton of Scranton, Pennsylvania and named in memory of their daughter, Grace, who passed away when she was twelve years old. In 1904 the Home was incorporated, and was nondenominational, its object being "The Glory of God, in the Industrial, Secular, and Religious Education and care of needy and deserving girls, emphasizing the daily teaching of the 'Word,' and to aid in maintaining religious services in the neighborhood." The postcard caption is printed along the top edge of the image. The postcard reverse is divided. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
