Paul Hesch above, and his family, below:
If it wasn't for wonderful relatives who are willing to share family pictures that I can post, this blog would be MUCH smaller and less interesting. Today, at Aunt Fronie's funeral, Irene Hesch Kulig (Math's daughter) brought copies of photos she had for me to add to the blog. Click it--that's Mary Otremba Hesch in 1900, with her children. Paul had died in August of 1900 and you can still see the shock on her face. (Or, as Larry just pointed out, Theresa was leaving for the convent soon too, in 1901. This photo maybe had something to do with that, we don't know).
(If you want to save any of these photos to your computer, right click on the picture and choose "save as...")
I didn't know an early picture of them existed, so this is especially precious. There's Grandpa Tony at 17, and Ted and Math at 11 and 12. Rose was the oldest, at 25, and Theresa was 19.
Young Paul was 14 here, only 6 years away from his own death in a train accident when he was 20.
I'll post more of Irene's pictures tomorrow.
THANK YOU, IRENE!!!
