Keep This to Look at When I Am Dead and Gone
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

I find it so interesting that she wrote that note to her nephew! I hope he had it for many years, and looked at it often.
And I do hope he grew up to be a "good and useful man".
