A proud of their blooming plant photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
In 1910, sixty-year-old Sarah Hetyke posed for this photo next to the blooming mock orange tree in her yard and then wrote a poignant message to her three-year-old nephew on the back of it (see below).
Handwritten on the back of this real photo postcard:
Lewis Stifler
Aug. 9, 1910
Dear Lewis,
I am 60 and you are 3. You keep this to look at when I am dead and gone, and remember me. And I hope you will grow up to be a good and useful man.
Lovingly,
Your Aunt Sarah Hetyke

Handwritten on the back of this real photo postcard: "Grandpa Boor. Robert H. Studebaker. 82 & 2."
Posted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park group for "old age" theme week. It's poignant how the boy is resting his hand on top of his grandfather's.
