Ah, a pretty card and sent to someone in Lancaster County, PA. Hinkletown isn't even a "cross-roads" village (the intersection is a "T"!) outside of the town of Ephrata.
This is Bessie's family -

showing her to be 9 years old in 1920.
I'm unable to determine who Mary "Beemsynder" was - I know of some ReifSnyders and suspect this is a variation of "Bean" and "Synder" in a hyphenated form.
Yes, you're probably right about the surname being wrong. It almost looks like it could be Preemsnyder, but that doesn't sound quite right. Reemsnyder is a better possibility. Thanks for all the help with this, Iggy!

I think the name may be Reemsnyder. I can find a family with that name in the area.
