History
The donor, Wilhelmina Klassen Slagh, was born in the Netherlands on 7-21-1908. Her husband, Bertal H. Slagh, was born on 8-19-1897. The Slagh family lived in Holland, MI at 345 College Ave (1921, 1934, 1962 city directories).

Wilhelmina, also known as "Billie", passed away on 4-19-1971 in Holland Hospital. Bertal passed on 7-27-1968 resulting in this donation that same year.
Both were buried in Pilgrim Home Cemetery in Holland, MI.

This group of postcards from the 1934 Chicago World's Fair belonged to Billie and Bertal. More than likely they visited the World's Fair.
