The letter, however, was eventually delivered to Frederick George Dickel, another member of the Dickel family, who had also immigrated from Germany to Iowa. Frederick George's son, Daniel Dickel, explained in a later letter (see Daniel Dickel to Wilhelm Dickel, February 8, 1922) that Frederick Wilhelm Dickel had died some time earlier.]]> George Dickel, who lived in Kelona, Iowa, had received a letter Wilhelm Dickel had sent to Frederick Wilhelm Dickel of Amana, Iowa the previous year (see Wilhelm Dickel to Frederick Wilhelm Dickel, Nov. 16, 1921).

In this letter, Daniel Dickel notes that Frederick Wilhelm, who was Wilhelm's uncle, had died earlier, but shares the information that the descendants of another one of Wilhelm's uncles were still living in Amana.]]>
Lina Höllmüller was born in 1881 near Neureichenau, in a picturesque area of eastern Bavaria, where family operated a resort for travelers. In 1902, she immigrated to the United States, initially living in Kansas City, Missouri, and working as a nanny there. By fall 1911, she was in Chicago, where she would live for the remainder of her life, and in October 1913 married Joseph A. Rauch there. Since the postcard is addressed to Lina Rauch by her married name, it must have been sent later than then.]]>
