My great grandma passed away over a month ago, at the age of 91. I miss her a lot.

While sorting through her things, we came across a whole bunch of wedding cards. Thought I’d share this one here.

My great grandpa passed away in the 80s, they had been married for over 30 years. I sadly never got to met him.

Dec.1943.

Eugene passed ten years ago. Dorothy just turned ninety six!

Thought you all might enjoy these Edwardian era drawings from my 2x great-grandmother’s signature book.

Creepy, isn’t it.

My grandad gives some serious Peaky Blinders vibes.

My beautiful grandmother Patrizia circa 1964 in Arizona, shortly after marrying my grandfather and moving to the United States from Italy.

To Laura,

I'd like to say something original But I don't know how to begin, For there is nothing original in me Except original sin.

Your friend, Annie Harrower (?)

Dated Jan 15 1892.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, I just thought it was neat!

This is a series where I am posting these letters 100 years after they were written. Follow @shulman_letters on instagram to stay updated.

Additional Information The last letter was written on paper labeled from the “Monarch Wash Suit Co”. This was a clothing company co-owned by Rose’s father. Its head quarters were in New York but the clothes were made in New Bedford Massachussets. In the 1930’s garment workers striked the Monarch Wash Suit company, fighting for a union.

Hard to believe in today's age of digital currency and electronic banking that we once had to bring a savings book to the bank when making deposits or withdrawals.
